Speaking to Joy FM, the Executive Secretary of the The National Film Authority said this is part of their resolve to set up Ghana as a production hub and also to encourage co-productions.
"...as we step up to set out Ghana as a shooting location and destination, to work at building cinema infrastructure, it is critically important that we put a lot of attention on local productions, upping the quality skill of local productions," she noted.
Juliet indicated that one of the ways of doing this is through co-productions.
"Co-productions help in skills transfer. Because when we work with our neighbors, then collaborate, there is skills transfer. It also helps us expand our market," she further noted.
Explained how the three film projects were selected Juliet said "we put out a call after we thought that we had enough to start and a lot of productions came through. But we were looking at specific things and key among them was co productions."
