Ghana Movie Industry Has Bright Prospects -Nollywood UK Producer

Queen Adedoyin Adisa

Nigeria born UK film producer, Queen Adedoyin Adisa, has endorsed the pace at which Ghana’s movie industry is growing.

She advised however that there was the need to employ new ideas to maintain the growth.

To her, Ghana was an industry with much potential and she felt that the fast growing trend of movie making in a country of over 25 million people needed her kind of flare to raise the bar.

“It isn’t about the contest but adding value in terms of financial, morally and culturally to uplift the African community to a higher height,” she noted.

Apart from producing films, Queen Adedoyin is a brilliant script writer who is currently churning out something for the Ghanaian community which will see both top celebrities and budding actors come together on set to achieve success.

Last December, Queen added another award to her collections with the award for producer of the year by a local group who had their anniversary in the UK.

For Queen Adedoyin Adisa, her dreams of doing movies had been an obsession until she produced her maiden movie ‘Ife Oga (Chameleon’s Love)’ in 2005, and the accolades started flowing as she won the youngest executive producer that same year.

Queen, who is the CEO of Queen Adedoyin Entertainment Ltd, a UK-based entertainment firm, but has its branch in Nigeria, was born in Ibadan, Oyo State of Nigeria.

She started her education in Nigeria (where she attended Sacred Heart Private School and Queen’s School) before leaving for the United Kingdom in 1994 with her family.

She furthered her education at the Archbishop Michael Ramsey Secondary School, Camberwell, London, where she completed 12 GCSEs. She continued to West Kent College, Kent, UK, where she completed an Advanced GNZQ in Health and Social Care, then attended University of Lincoln in 2004 where she bagged a BSc Hons degree in Psychology. Queen recently completed her MSc in Transcultural Mental Health Studies at the Queen Mary, University of London.

Though trained in the medical and health field, the charming and charismatic Queen Adedoyin Adisa, who enjoys producing movies, followed her passion and produced four movies, with the most recent being ‘Tori Idi Kan’ part 1 and 2.
