One of Nigeria’s finest actresses, Stephanie Okereke, is not in any rush, but taking her time to interpret her script while on location shooting alongside some Hollywood stars in a new movie.
The actress has so far been able to prove that she can break into the prestigious and glamorous American movie industry. This she displayed in the Hollywood set production of the movie titled ‘BoonVille Redemption,’ which is a movie about a story of 1906.
According to her, “Set in 1906. Love the fact that this film is about forgiveness, truth, redemption and love and everyone was treated equally without racial barriers at least for once….big ups.”
“I am playing the role of Doris- a lady from the second generation of slave trade in America whose parents came from Nigeria. Doris is no longer a slave and she lives with her uncle in this community where people are not judged by their race or colour.
“She is a strong compassionate woman who forms a bond with a young girl, Melinda, who grew up not knowing her father. Doris plays the role of convincing her Uncle to reveal the truth to this young girl about her father’s whereabouts.
“She also helps take care of Miss Mary, Melinda’s grandmother when she was ill and sheltered a young boy who had no place to stay. We are shooting in Los Angeles and this also gives me enough time to work on the post-production for my soon-to-be-released movie, Dry. There’s also my reality show, “Make Me Fabulous” that is also in the works. I’ve shot some episodes and I truly believe y’all will find it inspiring,” she disclosed.
