GOODNESS UCHENDU is a woman of many parts: production manager, scriptwriter and actress Her first feature film, romantic scammer, has put her in the league of actress.
HOW have you been faring in the entertainment industry?
It has been amazing. I thank God, first of all, for my life and opportunities. I am an all-round entertainment person because I have moved from scripting to movies and to television. Presently, I am handling my own production. In all, it has been amazing and challenging.
What then are the challenges?
I have been in the industry for almost 6 years. At the moment, I am concentrating on my TV production company and we all know that the challenges in Nollywood are funding and location. So, those are basically the challenges I am talking about; that is, trying to raise funds for your film or TV productions or whatever production.
It is hard because not everyone outside the industry understands how it works or what it entails to get things done. People just see the end product on television at the end of the day and they criticise without knowing what the people behind the film faced before they got to that end product.
How will you describe the last 6 years?
It has been amazing. I started with radio and music. When I got into the industry, things were a lot easier because there were not so many people in it, as we have today. Back then, a lot of us went to schools. Fresh from schools, we delved into the job.
For some, while we were schooling, we were working. I got my first job opportunity on Cool FM as a teenager then. I actually auditioned for it. It is not like someone gave me the job on a platter. I also started my music simultaneously alongside the radio job. So, it has been amazing and I would say thank God I am still alive.
Was there a point you wanted to give up?
Never! I think I was born to do this. As I said, I am an all-round entertainer. When I am not doing music, I am doing movies or even producing. i have another business am in to due
feelgoodnesscollections it's a very powerful boutique also but film making is what i di best
I am this kind of person who doesn’t sit put. I like to keep myself busy; there is always something to do. The entertainment industry is a big one. If I am not in your face, I am probably writing my next script and am working with very powerful company, emnash movies.. It takes a lot of process. I have never, for once, thought of quitting.
What has been happening to your feelgoodnesscollections?
I have been working slowly, but gradually. I have films i managed to emnash movies that haven’t released yet. They were produced by some of Nigeria’s biggest artists. I am hoping that you will see something from me sometime early next year.
I love what I do as an actress, but I have my limits personally not necessarily, I do not accept roles where I get sex . It is not because he puts a restriction on it, but I avoid it out of respect for my self
