Just like the story of a young and talented African woman who left her country, Cameroun to Los Angeles in search of what makes the visiting State the home of movies in the world, so to bring home a wealth of experience for others to acquire and make a living through it.
Sahndra Fon Dufe is an actress cum writer from Cameroon, living in Los Angeles. She is also a producer, and the owner of a small production house called African Pictures International, which will be producing its first major film this year.
Today, she can boast of being on the list of well-doing African and black actress, as she earlier retorted, “I intend to be one day recognized as the best black actress from Africa in my time and I’m working consistently towards that.”
In this captivating and spellbinding interview with Ugochukwu Favour-Mayor who just returned from Los Angeles, the black beauty speaks on her highly budgeted movie project, visit to Los Angeles and how she intends turning Cameroun into world recognized movie industry in Africa.
Let’s discuss Hollywood?
Hollywood is an interesting industry where you got to be prepared always. You got to be nice to everyone you meet and you have to be unique, and also have something about you that is real. Most importantly, you got to be yourself, because it’s very important in terms of human relationship.
How did you find yourself into the entertainment industry?
I got myself into it literally. I’m not from a family of film makers or actors like many entertainers out there would say. I had a dream and I went after it on my own and so here I am.
Do you have plans of debuting into the Nollywood industry as an African?
I don’t know, but I do know that I’m more interested in building the movie industry in my country Cameroon, so that one day people will also talk about it as they do discuss Hollywood and Nollywood industries. I certainly respect what the Nigerians have done so far, as an actress all that drives me is a good story. I would go to Nigeria to work if I get offered a role in a beautiful story, same I would to any other country. It is good story that will drive me.
