Nollywood actor Damola Olatunji discusses his experience working with colleague Iyabo Ojo after nine years, and expresses his joy at working with her once more.
In a video collage showcasing various sequences from his recently released film, APAARA, the director lauded Iyabo Ojo’s extraordinary acting abilities.
She being on the set of his film, he said, proved that the saying “actors are born, not manufactured.”
He recognized her amazing capacity to move between wrath and resolve and vulnerability and love.
Damola said that Iyabo Ojo’s performance was a true tribute to her skill and range as an actress. He said she brought an incredible amount of passion and fire to the job.
“From the director’s desk of the movie APAARA🔥🎥🎥🎥🔥,” he said.
“ALICICE IYABO OJO❤️❤️❤️…Nine years ago, I collaborated with her as a director on a film set that was produced by @anjysworldprd. Her presence on the APAARA set is proof positive that actors are born, not created. It was very amazing how easily she could go from being angry and determined to being vulnerable and loving. Iyabo Ojo gave such a convincing performance that it seemed as though the persona she played was actually her own. She embodied the spirit of a mother ferociously guarding her children and an activist striving for justice with an amazing amount of energy and passion in her performance.
Excellent write-up
