Accra, Aug. 23, GNA – Award-winning Ghanaian actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown has expressed profound gratitude to Ghanaians following the overwhelming support shown at the premiere of her latest movie, AMA.
The premiere, held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Auditorium, attracted thousands of movie enthusiasts, celebrities, industry figures, friends and family members.
Speaking after the event, McBrown described the massive turnout and enthusiastic support as a powerful reminder of the bond she has built with audiences over decades in the entertainment industry.
“It was overwhelming and deeply emotional to witness the love and support from Ghanaians,” she reflected, noting that the success of the premiere belonged not only to her but to everyone involved in the production.
The event began with a glamorous red carpet that transformed the venue into a spectacle of fashion and entertainment.
Celebrities, industry stakeholders and invited guests arrived in elegant outfits, creating memorable moments that added excitement to the occasion.
Fans lined the venue to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars, while guests interacted with supporters and posed for photographs in a celebration of Ghanaian fashion and celebrity culture.
The film, an all-Twi production, features McBrown alongside other notable Ghanaian actors and seeks to connect with audiences through themes rooted in culture, emotion and local storytelling.
McBrown said the premiere’s success highlighted the willingness of Ghanaians to support locally produced films when offered compelling stories and memorable cinematic experiences.
She acknowledged the contributions of the cast, production crew, partners, colleagues, friends and family who helped bring the project to life but reserved special appreciation for the thousands of Ghanaians who turned out to support the movie.
According to her, the greatest reward was seeing people from different backgrounds come together in support of Ghanaian storytelling.
“The packed auditorium was impressive, but what meant even more was seeing families, young people, industry players and fans united in celebrating a Ghanaian film,” she said.
Industry observers say the turnout reinforced the growing potential of Ghana’s film sector and demonstrated the important role cinema plays in bringing communities together.
