The Abuja
international film festival outstanding actress 2012 and short-international
film festival Best actress, discusses her multi-tasking as an Actress,
screenwriter, producer and Director.
She says that
she cannot call herself a Director yet, despite Co-directing ‘’Finding self’’.
for her Directing is a little into the future, although she loves it but is
seriously resisting the temptation of directing a lot. She however expresses
her love and devotion to Acting, Screenwriting and producing.
She claims that even-though at a
particular point writing locked her down for a long time and made it almost impossible
for her to sign any acting gigs, she has however found a middle ground where she
can act as much as she wants, write and produce when she has to,
compartmentalizing is something i have come to master and now i am doing a lot
more of acting she says.
Acting, writing
and producing she gushes are the most exciting experiences, and she will Act,
write and produce until she is so old and not able to move her bones.
On the
challenges in the film industries, she says that for all actors it’s always about
getting to work with the right team that can ensure quality films and working
consistently. And as a writer it’s about having client that can afford her fee
and allow her imagination to get to work, not clipping her wings with ideas
that do not usually work well dramatically.
And as a producer, funds! funds! funds! Good film projects costs a lot
of money and this money don’t come easy.
Talking about
her recent projects, she says that she is getting on set for an exciting
feature film and has amazing projects she is writing, has a number of feature
films in post-production and a TV show soon to be unveiled, she says that she
has been working behind the scene for several months now and it’s time to dish
out what she has been cooking.
On her fans she
says that she is really honored to have amazing fans, it’s always humbling
when you have people smiling, waving at me, hugging and telling me how much
they love my work, i have never seen a reward like that, to her fans she says,
i love you guys a lot, and her word out there is that ‘’everything that we need
to do and become is within and around us. And it’s only a fool that says that there
is no God!!!
