Nominations for the 2023 edition of the Ghana Film & TV Crew (GFTCA) Awards have been announced and several Ghanaian film crew members have got their names on the list.
The GFTCA is an annual award ceremony organised by the Film Crew Association of Ghana ( FICAG) to celebrate hard-working crew members as well as honour excellence in the film and television industry.
The 2023 award will be the second edition of the ceremony and it will come off on April 29, 2023, at the Snap Cinema in Accra.
Top film crew; Stephen Ekeso, Peter Avettey, Evander Kwame Agyeman & Lydia Gladys Ashitey have been nominated for the Overall Best Crew.
The Best Production Manager category also has hard-working crew members such as Gabriel Narh Addo, Saviour Kwaku Gatogo, Stephen Ekeso and Kwabena Copson in contention for their respective roles in films like; God Is African, Heroes of Africa, Ogbozo and Bruna
Organisers say thousands of entries were made for this year’s nominations.
The Overall Best Crew category is the highest award to be judged by the jury, the film & television industry and the general public.
For many years, some of the crew who work tirelessly to bring great entertaining programmes and films on television have not been given the proper honour they deserve, hence the GFTC AWARDS.
The April 29 event is strictly by invitation and will start at 7pm with a red carpet ceremony.
Under the theme; “Celebrating The Unsung Heroes”, the 2023 GFTC Awards is supported by GH Media School, Footprint Entertainment and Epicwave Multimedia.
The rest of the nominees include Anthony Woode, Adjetey Anang, Jeffrey Nortey and Bill Asamoah competing for the Outstanding Actor of The Year Category for their roles in the films Johnny Sugar, Mother-In-Law, Mulika Khutam respectively. The best Costume and Wardrobe category had Gifty Mawuena Sassovi, Fauzia Yakubu, Mercy Turkson and Clara Asantwaa for the films, Kutham, Savannah, Mirage Sometimes In Yesterday.
