Just give me a role in the film. So, I started to do that. But then I\u2019ll watch the film and I realised, Okay it\u2019s not quite what I had in my head when I was writing cos I see what I\u2019m writing, I write in pictures. I see what I\u2019m writing, so when I\u2019m watching the movie it\u2019s so different. Not to say that it wasn\u2019t good because no two directors will direct the same script in the same way. So I said to myself, if my stories are going to have my DNA, then I\u2019m going to have to direct them myself&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cAnd it was a scary thought, really who do you think you are to come and direct a film? Like who are you again? You know it was so scary, but then I said to myself, Warri no dey carry lass na. Wwetin dem get wey I no get? I was like, I\u2019ll do this thing. So I started understudying directors, like I\u2019m acting on set but I\u2019m watching the director closely. And I said you know what? Maybe I need some formal education on this.
