Actress Nana Ama McBrown has expressed her dislike for the name Kumawood which over the years has become the brand name for movies produced in Kumasi.

She said, “when people say Kumawood movies, it sounds as if they are not Ghanaian movies, let’s call them Ghana movies that way, I will feel proud because it is our own language.”
The actress noted that even the organizer of the Kumawood awards, recognizes movie makers form the Northern Region and the Volta Region so the name should be changed to include every aspect of the movie industry.
