The film school has attracted many renowned international filmmakers as visiting teachers for master classes and workshops including the likes of Werner Hertzog, Francis Ford Copolla and Stephen Spielberg.

Tourism Ambassadors Should Be Business Minded – ATWAG President
The President of the Arts and Tourism Writers Association of Ghana (ATWAG), William Asiedu has admonished the tourism ambassadors appointed by the government to tap into the business aspect of tourism.
Speaking to KMJ on Showbiz Now on Joy Prime Mr Asiedu, who is also the Managing Editor of the Daily Heritage newspaper said the impact of the tourism ambassadors is not felt because most of them have not been able to strike deals that will ultimately transform the tourism industry, particularly in the area of infrastructure.

“What’s the objective of putting together that team of ambassadors? What were the key performance indicators that we sitting back will use to judge them?” he asked.
He added that each of the creative people chosen as tourism ambassadors should be able to use their clout to drive the tourism sector in their specific domains.
“I would have picked businessmen like Kwame Despite, Sikkens or Wiyaala who is now all over the world – people who can give us the returns that we need,” he said.
He noted that celebrities, who are business-minded are those that are needed for this cause.
“For me when I am talking tourism, I am talking business because the fun part will come when the business is done,” Mr Asiedu further stated.
Asked if the appointment of the ambassadors was useless, he answered in the negative, reiterating that instead of the government asking them to present their individual projects for consideration, it should have, from the outset, planned projects in line with the objectives of the ministry and tailored to suit the influence each celebrity wields in their respective fields.
Background
In 2017, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, appointed 30 Ghanaian celebrities as ambassadors for the “See Ghana, Eat Ghana, Wear Ghana, Feel Ghana” campaign.
The campaign concept draws on re-orienting Ghanaians on a new sense of national pride in its heritage, culture, and way of life.
According to Ms Catherine Afeku, the Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, the aim of the Tourism Ambassador programme, was to partner influential persons to help drive tourism growth in and outside the country.
She said the ambassadors would therefore use their personalities and expertise to sell Ghana’s tourism potential to the world.
The ambassadors include SP Kofi Sarpong, D-Black, Nana Kwame Ampadu, Okyeame Kwame, Fancy Gadam, Agya Koo, Lucky Mensah and Sena Dagadu.
Others are PaJohn Dadson, Reggie N Bollie, Wiyaala, Sam Okyere, Dada KD, Sherifa Gunu, Diana Asamoah, Cindy Thompson, Andy Dosty, among others.

Samuel Sey – Kronkron (Official Video)
UK based Ghanaian Gospel musician, Samuel Sey has released a touching gospel song titled ‘Kronkron’; a twi phrase which translates as ”Holy” and produced by Groove House. ‘Kronkron’ according to Samuel is one beautiful piece the Holy Spirit through his praise moment borrowed him to write.
”I have recount in several moments growing up as a vibrant young man in ministry hearing about the holiness of God until one day in my lone moment it became tangible”, expresses Samuel in an email interview.
Instead of striving for fame, fortune or material happiness, the Christian must strive for holiness. Holiness comes from God and as such, one must first understand God’s holiness before we can walk in that holiness in our individual daily lives. The Bible recounts we should make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. This song comes as a call to every believer that God is Holy and our walk with him can always be absolute perfect only if we walk in holiness hence the song ‘Kronkron’.
Watch the official video of ‘Kronkon’ by Samuel Sey below and be blessed.
