According to her, “A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to FLY. I’ve got my heart in my mouth. Why? Cos it’s my first directing attempt… But I love this film and I’m sure you may just like it. Catch it at a Cinema near you from today.”
She also explained that it wasn’t easy for her doing such a movie noting that it was very challenging. “I don’t even know why I embarked on this, it was experimental for me. I almost broke my back.”© 2014Nigeriafilms.com
