The Screenwriters Guild of Ghana (SWGG), Producers Guild of Ghana (PGG), and the National Film Authority (NFA) met to align efforts toward establishing global standards for Ghanaian filmmaking and creating a sustainable, competitive film industry.

The NFA emphasized its commitment to setting statutory frameworks that ensure Ghanaian storytelling in films meets international standards. Integral to this is the push to strengthen copyright laws and foster strong, collaborative relationships with the country’s creative guilds.

The SWGG expressed eagerness to partner with the NFA on key initiatives, including the popular Pitch Ahoy programme, designed to support emerging filmmakers and innovative projects.

Highlighting its support for the industry, the NFA revealed efforts to secure grants for filmmakers and ongoing behind-the-scenes discussions with custodians to facilitate smooth access for foreign productions to Ghanaian crew, equipment, and logistics.

Stakeholders are also preparing for the upcoming National Film Dialogue on July 30th, where critical topics like insurance for equipment and logistics will be discussed. Community representatives affiliated with the film industry will also join to provide input and explore solutions to current challenges.

During the meeting, the SWGG and PGG stressed the importance of recognizing all sectors that interact with film production and helping them integrate effectively into the evolving industry landscape. The guilds also advocated for enhanced incentives for foreign productions and guaranteed inclusion and fair treatment of Ghanaian crew members.

“This is not just about film—it’s about creating a legacy of professionalism and pride,” said James Gardiner, deputy executive secretary of the NFA. “When we raise the bar for storytelling, we raise the profile of Ghana itself.”

S. Kobbah Quaicoe, Acting Organising Secretary of the SWGG, remarked: “We see this collaboration with the NFA as a necessary leap forward. Standardising storytelling isn’t just about regulation—it’s about lifting the next generation of creatives onto the world stage.”
Representing the Producers Guild of Ghana, Danny Adjokatcher added: “We must create an ecosystem that attracts foreign productions while protecting and empowering local talent. It’s time for bold, structured incentives and serious conversations about inclusion.”
Yaw F. Boakye, Acting President of the SWGG, closed by saying: “Storytelling is our strongest currency. By partnering with the NFA and fellow guilds, we’re ensuring that Ghanaian stories are not only told—they’re respected globally.”

This collaboration underscores a united vision to transform Ghana into a thriving hub for film production that honors its unique stories while meeting the demands of the global marketplace.
