PURE LOCAL ACTOR (KUMASI ACTOR) DUPES A MOVIE DIRECTOR, AND PRODUCER.

A kumasi based actor, and A well known face in the most popular tagged, "KUMASI FILM OR PURE LOCAY' BY NAME Omono Asamoah Akwess a.k.a Big Akwess, decides to do an unfinished JOB after been paid more than half of his money.

Big Akwess as he is popularly called in the early days of August had a contract with a movie production House (name withheld) to act in an epic Ghanaian slavery story, which he failed to honor his promise and left the location without rapping up from set.

Big Akwess sources close to him say is believed to have complete GALLYWOOD FILM ACADEMY , with that sense of professionalism the least expected from him was to live set while production is in progress.

Showbiz Web Magazine learned that, he had collected money from other directors in the name of acting for them and both production unfortunately was taking place in the same week. while the other is at Bonwire in the Ashanti region the other was also located at Antoa both in Ashanti region.

He played the John Mensah role, by going forth and back, thus living the sets to the other in his car respectively to act his scenes.

 On completing a day scenes, he promised to return back, that he is going to court to attend a case the next morning. A source close the man in question disclosed to Us that he is not at the court rather, on another director's production named Isaiah , director for Unity film production. He refused to appear on said date during the next day which he promised that he will be on set. Till the third day, he came at a late hour and insisted that the director (name withheld) should shoot his scenes for him, which he the director was on the verge of shooting other scenes, crew members were pissed of his behavior (shouting at the director).

One of the crew members also shouted back,that if he "can't wait till they finish the scene he can go". The question one will ask is, where is he in a hurry to,? To the other directors set located at Bonwire in the Ashanti Region.

Attempt to reach the Director and Producer proves futile, but THINK AHEAD STUDIOS, can boldly say, the remaining scene of BIG AKWESS is still hanging. A source close to director say's, " well, when all is set and done, we will be going back to shoot the others scenes, but you know, is another cost, paying those he acted with, and other extras, some came as long as from Sogakofe, all of them would have to come". 

The actors attitude bring into rememberance the habit of some actors who have brand themselves as "STARS", that when they are not there, no one can play their role for them or as them. Oflate directors have also been bashing Actors for charging soo much for part one and two movies, which also when they come to set, they expect that you shoot their scence for them to live.

Meanwhile, this actor upon low budget on that production, when some Co-Actors were asked to sleep with him in a hotel (name withheld at Antoa) he objected, that some one ever tried a spell on him when he was on a different production.so he preferred sleeping alone, which sources say he did not sleep alone but with a woman he went to set with, without the director's knowledge.

He will be remembered Mostly in the occult and fetish roles of "Kumasi Films" a.k.a Pure Local. Some Source say's Actors who were on set and stayed till end of production (RAP UP) Includes, Ras Kwamena, Ras Quame, EFFOH, FELIX JACKSON, FIIFI and  OTHER GALLYWOOD ACTORS etc...

Well, most of the blame sometimes must be given to these director, because while the minor role actors are been paid less others are not paid at all, but they stay and help production before rapping up, those who are given huge sums of money, come at their best of time which suits them.

WE URGE ACTORS AND ACTRESS TO BE PROUD OF THE PROFFESSION AND WORK ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF THE GAME. JOB WELL DONE DESERVE GOOD PAY and respectable FANS . 

At the time of going to press, BIG AKWESS, had not return to shoot his remaining scenes, since he did not turn up, production had to be caleed off  because it was planned and bugdeted to a setting date. showbiz watch magazine Investigative team are on the ground monitoring if the remaining scenes will be shot before the movie comes out.........................STAY TUNED.
