The newly appointed Deputy Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, James Gardiner, has assured that his team is working hard to settle in and get things rolling quickly.
In an interview with Joy FM’s Kwame Dadzie on March 1, 2025, Gardiner described the appointment as an honour and pledged to work diligently alongside his immediate boss, Kafui Danku, to advance the goals of the film industry and the nation at large.
He added that he is already collaborating with industry players and stakeholders to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives.
“There’s a lot of work to be done, and as such, we’ve already marked out plans to meet and engage with some of the industry players and stakeholders to rub our minds together on how we can together work as a unit and achieve our short-term goals and our long-term goals as well.
“We are working very hard to settle in so we can set the ball rolling as quickly as we can. So help us God,” he said.
The actor, who shares a long-standing professional relationship with Kafui Danku in the acting space, expressed confidence in their ability to steer the NFA in the right direction.
“We are willing and ready to fill the big shoes of the office and to continue to drive the vehicle towards the right direction for the betterment of our industry and also the nation as a whole,” Gardiner stated.
Although some individuals are protesting it, the appointments of Kafui Danku and James Gardiner have been celebrated as a step toward strengthening Ghana’s film industry, with many anticipating innovative strategies and collaborative efforts under their leadership.
Meanwhile, the National Film Authority is expected to unveil its strategic plans in the coming weeks as it seeks to elevate Ghana’s film industry to new heights.
