I’m Not Worthy To Compete With The Likes Of Kelani, Ogidan, Amanechi, Jeta -Frank Rajah Arase
He's a prolific film maker of reckon in Ghana and beyond. Frank Rajah Arase, the Edo State indigene but Lagos born film maker is a big name in the entertainment industry in Ghana, Nigeria and Africa continent as a whole.
He recently made a declaration that there is no room for competition with the likes of Tunde Kelani, Tade Ogidan, Andy Amanechi and Jeta Amata who are considered as godfathers in the film-making industry.
“We film makers know who we respect, before now, there were big names, people that are prolific in what they do, It's not possible, these are my fathers, bosses, people I respect so much.
I am not going to see the likes of Tunde Kelani, Tade Ogidan, Andy Amanechi , Jeta Amata etc and I will come and stand that I am competing with them, hell No! People in this generation might not know their names as they know mine but they are daddies in the business and they are still relevant today,” Frank said.
The happily married entertainment czar also made a public declaration at an award ceremony in far away North Carolina where he was nominated alongside Jeta Amata and other prominent African film makers. “ Take for an instant, I was nominated alongside Jeta Amata sometime ago in North Carolina, in a place like Ghana, the name Jeta rings no bell, you may be wondering what movies has he done but Jeta is a master to me, you know why? When I was starting, I used to go to his father's studio and Jeta was already a wave-making director, he would come to see my job and criticize and point out my errors! And he would just tell me, do this like this etc . When I received the award, I said to him that,”I have not defeated you, I have only done what you taught me and I strongly believe that you will be proud of me”.
The likes of Andy Amanechi, I know how much I have learnt from them, I can't stand to compete with these people or even compete with those that are yet to make the kind of name I have made,” he concluded.
