Cast New faces – Michelle Attoh Advises Movie Producers
Ghanaian Actress cum media personality, Michelle Attoh has opined that the continuous use of old and known faces for roles by movie producers and directors hinders the development of the Ghanaian movie industry.
According to Michelle, casting new talents brings a different quality and feel from what movie lovers have been used to over the years.
Using the Nigerian movie industry, which is well known as Nollywood as an example to make her point, the sensational movie diva articulated that apart from the many productive initiatives, giving young talents a spot to shine cannot be taken out of their success story.
Michelle, in an interview with Graphic Showbiz said, “I’m very certain if we believe in the skills of new talents and offer them roles, they will create fresh energy that will match what people are looking for. There is a saying that ‘variety is the spice of life’.
The stunning presenter noted that, “It all comes down to us creating space for new acts to show their worth. From experience, I have personally encountered a waakye seller who claimed to be camera shy but when I insisted, she delivered beyond expectation.
Michelle Attoh asserted that “When movie directors and producers task themselves, they will find overwhelming talents who fit the roles they have been using the same old faces for. There is a pool of talents out there to be discovered.”
While appealing to filmmakers to take such decisions, the bublbly actress also charged up-and-coming actors and actresses to believe in themselves to deliver when the opportunity came.
“Also, the new talents should be bold to accept challenging roles and not feel they don’t qualify but rather some others do. Many of these newly discovered talents have not come into the spotlight because they are either too shy or occasionally believe the moment or opportunity is not right for them and that certain roles should be given to the veteran actors,’’ she said
She concluded by saying, “if you try some of the new actors, you realise there are really excellent ones who show lots of prospects when given the chance.”
