“I used to trade my scripts for film roles” – Omoni Oboli

During an interview with RadioNow FM, Actress Omoni Oboli shared how she used to sell her scripts to get movie roles at the early stage of her career.

However, she became inspired to direct after seeing her scripts transformed into movies, which often fell below her expectations.

She felt that what she had pictured while writing wasn’t what the directors brought to life.

“Not to say it wasn’t good, because no two directors will direct the same script in the same way,” she explained. “So, I said to myself, if my stories are going to have my DNA, then I’m going to have to direct them myself.”

To achieve this goal, Omoni began understudying directors and furthered her education at the New York Film Academy.

Today, she is thriving as a filmmaker, director, and actress.
