Gloria Sarfo: GH movie industry wasting talents because there are no films
In an Instagram post Tuesday on July 15, 2025, Sarfo said the talents of most Ghanaian actors who could be thriving elsewhere, particularly in Nigeria are wasting away in Ghana.
“Honestly, if you’re in Nigeria as an actor, you’d realize that you’ve REALLY WASTED YOUR TALENT back in Ghana,” she wrote. “As in, people are shooting on a daily basis, back to back, non stop. Meanwhile, in my country Ghana, producers STRUGGLE to even shoot one film in a year.”
Sarfo described the situation as “CRAZY” and “totally disheartening,” questioning what had gone wrong in an industry that used to flourish. “What has happened to our industry???
Talents are BEING WASTED. Mercy Lord,” she added.
In a caption accompanying her post, Sarfo elaborated on her concerns, noting that friends, family and fans had long been telling her that she was “wasting [her] talent in Ghana.”
“This MUST be looked at, seriously. Look there are lots and lots of talent wasting in Ghana year by year, trust me,” she wrote.
“I’m just here recommending people left right center, cos I KNOW what we have back in my country, I KNOOOOOOOOOOOW,” Gloria intimated.
She praised the opportunities available in Nigeria, where she believes many Ghanaian talents could thrive with the right support.
“Great great talents, who’ll do exceptionally WELL in Nigeria meeeehn. And there are people to PUSH THEM too. But in our CASE… Oh my HEART,” she added. (Read Dear musicians, CDs or No CDs?)
Sarfo also reflected on the past, saying the situation was once the opposite. “It was the other way round just some few years ago, so WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. Or is it the NUMBERS, or WHAT?” she asked.
She suggested that actors may have to take matters into their own hands by producing films themselves.
