There is this propitious but fallacious believe of movie producers in the country that depict that when some marked faces are absent in a movie, the movie won't sell. These faces have being accorded so much credulity and fame that, when none is on your set, then you're doing a "cos 90" job. For this course, faces involved in this laughable shortlist have developed swollen mouths charging hefty sums for their services. Hence, making less wealthy and upcoming filmmakers to bounce their artistic calling into the industry.
A hardworking, controversial and showbiz kid, Winn Dravie; a graduate of the African Radio and Television College and man behind the "Woes of Zulata", a movie premiered at the North. Featuring veteran actors and actresses including William Addo, Dzifa Glikpoe and a host of others.
Despite speculations and hindrances over the use these veterans, who are believed to have no market value, Winn with no rapt effect went ahead to use them. Winn is a young guy who believes in his dreams, also focused and tolerant though he's a type who never hides his feelings.
With his own creativeness, he's able to write his own stories and direct them to its intended best. "I'm good, if I'm not good, I can't direct a director. I made them respect me as a professional" Winn has stated. He made this statement to back the claim that most of these veterans are more experienced and knowledgeable than him but with hardwork and God on his side, he was able to work it out.
After several efforts of productions with no success, Winn still persevered and came up with his debut "Woes of Zulata". An epic and captivating storyline with a traditional African setting.
Through out all this hurdles, Winn confirm that "this industry does not favour the young".
He has therefore taken the notch to help reveal the struggles of talented individuals in the society.
This then makes us find him, co-producer and show host of Talent and Struggle (T and S).
