THE downturn the Ghanaian movie industry has experienced lately has seen some actors relocating to or seeking more roles in Nigeria's Nollywood. And for Nollywood actress Beverly Naya, Ghanaian actors come to Nigeria because it offers more opportunities than Ghana does.
“There are more chances in our country than here. Take a look at our population, it's big; the movie market is also big there, we have more cinemas, we shoot more movies; every time we are screening something.
“Again we have the attention of major streaming sites such as Netflix and all so there is always work for us to do. That is why Ghanaian actors like coming to our country,” she told Graphic Showbiz recently.
Beverly, who has been in Ghana shooting the Perfect Picture sequel, Perfect Picture - 10 Years Later by Shirley Frimpong Manso's Sparrow Pictures said that did not take away the fact that the Ghanaian movie industry was doing well.
“Ghana’s movie industry is doing well, I love their movies. Though they may not be shooting as much as we do, when they decide to shoot, it is very good,” she said.
Beverly also revealed that she loved to work with Shirley Frimpong Manso. “I love working with her, she is good at what she does, she pays attention to detail and her choice of location for movies is always spot on.”
Roles Beverly Naya has played in productions such as Skinny Girl in Transit and Wedding Party show her as a mean person who hates to see people happy but she says people should not stereotype her.
“Those are movies in which I played such roles but I am a versatile actor, I make sure I give every role I am given my best shot.”
Talking about her role in Perfect Picture -10 Years Later, Beverly said it was an interesting one, “I played the role of a daughter called Samantha, something very different.”
Some of the movies Beverly Naya has featured in are Guilty Pleasures, Death Waters, Tinsel, Home in Exile, Alan Poza, Forgetting June, Make A Move, Up Creek Without a Paddle, Stripped, Weekend Getaway, When Love Happens, Brother's Keeper, The Wedding Party, The Wedding Party 2 and Chief Daddy.

You Go to Nija if they want you case is ***barred word*** and baseless..This has nothing to do with Ghana and Nigeria ahh ahh, She was asked a question about the opportunity in the industry and the truth is they have the market and the government of Nigeria support them and moreover they have a huge cinemas across the the country and you sit here talking ***barred word*** when we don't have any cinemas in this country. As a Ghanaian I'm even ashamed when people like you jump your gun on a country that beat us in and out of Africa and the world in the entertainment industry. We have super talented people in Ghana but lack of financial support to progress. Davido selling out UK 02 Arena, Wizkid selling Royal Albert Hall and many more so turn ur anger on yourself and pray for our mother GHANA.KMT
Skin pain saaa from our Nigeria people. You think every African country want to see other blacks come to their country? You go see for yourself. You wonder why Ghana is the only one doing Year of Return? We are more welcoming than others. Go to Gabon, Congo, Kenya and see the reception the ordinary African American gets. Be grateful to Ghana for Year of Return which other African countries are now trying to copy.
