Yvonne Nelson, a Ghanaian actress, has talked about how the money she earned from filming in Nigeria was used to help her home country make movies.

Nelson told Hitz FM, a radio station in Ghana, that she had a good life making movies in Nigeria.

She added that she did not spend much of the money she made and instead saved it for her films, stating that creating them has been a gratifying experience.

The actress, who has been in multiple Nollywood films, spoke at a Ghanaian radio station about how she made money in Nigeria.

SHE SAID,
“There is money in film, I started in 2010, so I have been using the same money you know.

“I have made some decent money from Nigeria, so that money I didn’t touch it, it is for production.

“I have my production account so that is what I have been using to produce all these movies, and luckily for me, some of my past productions I got like placement money from companies to do placements and stuff.

“It has been rewarding if you know what you are doing and your movies are good.”

When asked how the country’s film industry may ...
... improve, Nelson cited some of her colleagues who could start making great films to help resuscitate Ghana’s film industry.

Nelson, who has been in a number of Nollywood films, has urged Ghanaian actors to work more to revive the country’s film industry.

“It can, if John Dumelo, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Okoro, Van Vicker, we all become producers. I believe everyone is going to see it, you know, the revival will be seen. I am urging people, not just outsiders or people who have money, we can do it on our own.

“I can’t be the only one going around talking and saying let’s do this, people can see that we are not even bothered about the industry, we don’t care if it crashes or not so yeah if we can all start producing and helping the younger ones also showcase their talents, I believe we will start from somewhere,” she stated.
