The Royal Arts Academy trained role interpreter in a chat with TheNewsGuru opens up on the inspiration behind her new flick, ‘Miracle’
“A South African movie director asked me the title I would give a movie If I had the opportunity to make one, and I told him ‘Miracle’.
“I conceived this idea in 2012, recall that I had won best new actor award at AMAA(African Movie Academy Awards) in 2012,I happened to be the in the same box with a South African director and we were chatting . After the event, they were taking us back to the airport and he had won the award for the best overall film. Since then I have been working on it. I am grateful to God that I have been able to shoot in 2018, a movie I conceived in 2012.I have been through a lot of trials for ‘Miracle’.
Effah stressed that she had decided that her first movie production will be dedicated to God.
“I made a vow to God that my very first production will be to glorify him. I decided that If I were to go into production my first will be to glorify God.I know I cannot help the whole world, but I want to impact the society, our nation and basically the world at large hence my doing this movie. The proceeds from this move would be used for charity.What makes it different is that this time around, I am the one making it and the motive behind it what makes it unique from every other movie”.
The award winning actress who has spent over a decade in Nollywood explained why it took her that long to produce her own movie.
“I don’t do things If I am not convinced it’s the right time. I have always had it in mind that one day I am going to produce a movie; I didn’t know when that was going to be. It could have happened in 2012 but I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have the funds then, I didn’t have the technical know- how .It’s my first production and I must say that I did a good job.I wanted to be ready mentally, physically and emotionally. I think this is the right time for me to do this. As they say, change is the constant thing, sometimes as an actor I just want to produce content that my heart desires”.
