    Filmmaker and content creator Jeffery Nortey has stated that people in the skit-making industry often face several challenges, pointing to what he calls ’cultural attitudes’ in Ghana.

    Speaking on GhanaWeb Entertainment’s X space on August 29, 2025, Jeffery explained that Ghanaians mostly pay more attention to foreign content than what is produced in their home country.

    ‘You use us, then ignore us!’ – Jeffrey Nortey slams filmmakers

    He said this attitude has crept into the creative space and is affecting creators.

    “We suffer from cultural attitude. It goes way back; they say charity begins at home. You know how we treat foreigners or how we treat strangers. We prefer to give them the light compared to our own people. It’s a canker when it comes to Ghana and it has found its way into the creative industry,” he said.

    Jeffery mentioned that until he started making skits, he did not understand the struggles of those in the space.

    ‘At a point in my acting career, the scripts weren’t coming’ – Jeffery Nortey

    He recalled how, as a filmmaker, he used to wonder why comedians like Warris and others were not cruising in luxury cars, high-end locations, or famous actresses in their productions.

    But Jeffery said after venturing into skit-making in Ghana, he realised the work is more difficult and less profitable than people think.

    “Back then when I was behind the scene, because I had a filmmaker mentality, I was like why don’t you use luxury cars and places and go for this actress and all that. I did not know the challenges it was going to come with until I found myself there, and I realised that skit making is actually a low-budget film,” he added.

    Meanwhile, Big Ghun together with Jeffery Nortey are set to premiere their collaborative film, ‘Vibes the Movie’, on October 4, 2025, at the Silverbird Cinema, Accra Mall.

    The film will feature a number of notable personalities including Aaron Adatsi, Clemento Suarez, Krymi, and others.
