Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Uche Jombo, has said her transition into production has given her greater creative control over the kinds of roles she plays, noting that she no longer waits for opportunities but creates them.
Speaking in an interview with Potpourri, the veteran filmmaker explained that her position as a producer has fundamentally shifted how she engages with acting and storytelling.
“I wish I knew, actually, but I always say to my fellow filmmakers, tell your story. I think if we continue telling stories that are authentically ours, we are moving in the right direction. That’s just it, tell our stories,” she said, stressing the importance of originality in filmmaking.
