A product of the American International University where she obtained a Master’s in Healthcare Administration, Eva who is best known for producing the critically acclaimed movie Caught in The Web, starring Ghanaian actor Van Vicker, disclosed in this interview that she is fulfilled in her careers both as a Nollywood actress, producer and director and an administrator at her own Healthcare Company.

The Journey Here
I STARTED my acting career decades ago in Nigeria, acting with most of the legendary renowned actors like John Dumelo and the veteran actress Patience Uzokwo (Mama G). Later, I decided to produce my own movies. The very first movie I wrote and produced was titled Caught In The Web, which got us five outstanding nominations at the Nollywood and African Film Critics’ Awards (NAFCA) in 2011 in North Carolina, USA.
Upon relocating to the US, I became part of the Nollywood movie industry that was already in existence. I have played major roles in its development and am still doing that till date. I have produced many television series, television commercials and films such as Family Secrets, Love Betrayal (a soap opera/TV series) and Blind Folded, which premiered in Houston and featured actors like Kalu Ikeagwu and Moses Efret.

Blind Folded got multiple nominations at the Los Angeles Film Awards and the movie Directors, Stanley Acholonu and Ikechukwu Onyeka won the best Director Awards category.

Challenges Encountered In Nigeria and The US
As an actress, my talent was hidden for a long time at the beginning of my career in Nollywood, just like most upcoming acts. But when the time came, it exploded and like they say the rest is history. However, as a producer, I was faced with multiple problems in raising funds for a movie project in an environment that was yet to consider making an African movie a viable venture.
Well, in terms of distribution, especially online distribution, I am happy with what is happening with the collaboration between Nollywood and Netflix. Nollywood is currently experiencing significant transformation in its mode of production and distribution. The missing quality and content problems have been moved up to speed by the supervision of Netflix as evidenced by the films that are being streamed to worldwide audiences. I consider the union between Netflix and Nollywood a highly commendable union.

Also, the collaboration with Netflix has made many Nollywood filmmakers whose movies are not yet Netflix compliant start embarking on far-reaching transformation driven by the adoption of tech-savvy applications and models for making good films. The bottom line here is that Netflix has raised the bar very high in the Nollywood film industry. Everybody is now trying to catch up. This is a good development in our movie industry.
