The 31 year old actress was in an interview with The Sun Newspaper recently. Read the chat below;
When asked about her new movie, ‘ Dark’, she responded; I was actually writing Walls Within, a romantic comedy and all of a sudden my creative juices dried up. I think I was in my room and it was dark. I think that was how I came up with the title. When I finished writing, I could barely see what I’d written because I was just scribbling everywhere.
It took me about another whole day to try and figure out my own handwriting. Darkis something different. It’s actually not your regular Nollywood movie; it’s a thriller.
On becoming a producer, she replied;It was a business decision because at that time, actresses were not well paid.
I decided to go into production because I’d always been a business person. I think I was one of the first actresses who produced her own films in Nollywood. I made my debut in 2004 and produced my first movie in 2005. 10 years have rolled by ever since. I was already doing business when I got into Nollywood. I mean, I used to sell stuff so I had my own cash. And obviously mom supported me with a loan which I later paid back.
Starting out I wouldn’t say was easy because as at 2005, N3 million was a lot of money. I’ m my executive producer. It’s not like I don’t believe in executive producer hunting but it is just not my thing.
