Speaking in an interview with Entertainment, Mr Moses Nwanze, project co-ordinator Fame Movie Production, said this idea is initiated to promote movies and entertainment in The Gambia. He added that Gambians love to watch Nigerian Movies. According to him, this project can gradually build an industry in The Gambia where it will generates revenue to create employment. He noted that it should be a national project. "That's why we got support from the Department of Education to develop a culture of writing," he said.
