In an interview with Kwame Boadi, the director and producer of Sunshine Avenue, he said although the show is an entirely Ghanaian production, negotiations were advanced to export the series to other African countries, namely Kenya and South Africa.
He disclosed that the series would focus on unearthing new talent in the entertainment scene instead of known faces all the time.
“There will be a number of seasoned actors in the series, each episode will focus on revealing new talent.
“Ghana is a well-resourced country with a lot of talented individuals who only need to be given the exposure for them to shine,” he said.
He assured viewers that unlike other Ghanaian television series, which are usually discontinued halfway through production, Sunshine Avenue would go the distance.
He attributed this to the fact that most Ghanaian productions lacked the needed resources to sustain them for long periods.
“You can just look at our track record with some of the series we have produced. We produced Sun City, which run for eight years and we hope to go even longer with Sunshine Avenue.
“We have the resources and a strong team which will enable us continually show the series as well as maintain a high level of quality throughout the production,” he added.
