Golden movie awards scrapped over financial challenges
Mimi Andani Michaels, the organiser of the awards, says she cannot continue to hold the event due to financial difficulties
The executive director of Golden Movie Awards Africa, Mimi Andani Michaels has said that the award will no longer return to Ghana’s event calendar because of financial constraints.
“We invested our own money for seven years,” Michaels told the media recently. “We did everything right to make sure companies will come on board but zero! Nobody knows how we do the awards.”
According to her, “there’s just no support when it comes to our industry, so how do we go on? As it stands, I don’t think I will organise Golden Movie Awards again! My money is gone! No company is willing to sponsor me…”
“They (the movie industry) supported Golden Movie Awards with their hearts. I receive several calls and messages from industry people begging me not to give up. They give me a 1000% of their support,” she added.
Established in 2015, the Golden Movie Awards was an annual event that seeks to honour outstanding achievements in the African movie industry.
