@unclejohnproductions: Why did you decide to work in this industry? It wasn’t really a conscious decision. It was a need I had to fill. I fell in love with acting after doing theater shortly after High School. There was only so much opportunity to act in Portland, Oregon, so I moved to Los Angeles. I booked a pretty big job right away, and instead of waiting for the next thing to happen, I took some of my earnings and decided to produce some theater. That sort of set a precedent, so every time I booked a lucrative role, I would turn it around into a production of my own. I ended up getting some equipment and taking a few film making classes along the way, mostly to be self sufficient, but somehow I fell in love with the production/business side of it all too. It’s very fulfilling to get to use both creative and analytical skills when I’m bringing a project to life. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZrK

@topeoshinfilm: What, if anything, do you collect? Awards? lol. Seriously though, I’m not a collector of anything. I love to uncluttered and trash as much as I can. Decongest my environment and space. It helps my creativity. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaYZa

@topeoshinfilm: What advise do you have for other women in the industry? Strive for excellence. Always. Don’t settle for less than the best in your work and art. Seek the fine detailing in everything you do, and never see yourself as “the weaker sex”. Art and Excellence are universal. No respecter of gender or sex. Be human. Be excellent. Be the best. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaYX3

@topeoshinfilm: What’s a defining moment in your life? Meeting the late Nollywood Amazon, Amaka Igwe, who identified directing traits in me and encouraged me to take a step in that direction, away from the actor I was when we met. I picked up on her instincts, and found myself right in the centre of what has become my life passion and love. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaYSr

@topeoshinfilm: Why did you decide to work in this industry? I actually have always known myself as an artist, from when I was just a little girl. I drew, painted, danced, sang, so I pretty much was always home with the arts and hoped I could end up there, though that wasn’t the reality of my clime, which thought of acceptable life careers as being a Doctor, Lawyer, or Banker. With good luck and providence, I stumbled onto a course in Theatre Arts, TV & Film at the Lagos State University, just right after my prior admission to study Economics in another University failed. The theatre and film course at the Lagos State University was supposed to be a time and face-saver, but ended up placing me right where I needed to be. Doing what I do today. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaYR9
