The Impact Movie Production in the east of Freetown is to release a movie titled: ‘De Gron Dry’.
The movie’s script was written by Alpha Gentle Gbesay, popularly known as Mr. Gentle.
He explained that the movie portrays unity and criticizes political biases. He added that it teaches moral lessons in politics and on the perceptions which the masses have about it.
He criticizes people who thinks and considers politics as a religion, so much so that they do not relate with persons supporting a different political party.
Gentle explained that, it encourages people to be united and fosters development in any society.
“I did not write the movie to oppose or criticize the Government. I used the title as a trade mark to get the attention of people.”
He explained that he has been into the movie industry as a Director and Screen Writer for 12 years now. He said he discovered himself as a writer when he was in Senior Secondary School in 2006. He said that he started off as a science student with a special love for literature because of its psychological help to people.
He explained, “I was preparing for my WASSCE when I started writing scripts, even though it was not a career to me by then. After I wrote the WASSCE, there was no opportunity for me to go to college, but because I have a passion and talent in writing I considered taking it as a career, and since I have not regretted being a movie Director and a screen-writer.”
