Bose Alao, an actress and filmmaker has disclosed that she used to write to producers and marketers in order to find work.
“When I faced one of the greatest challenges of my life, I did not give up. There were times I did not get acting jobs, and I had to write to producers personally. I sent messages to movie marketers to bid for roles. I got involved in other businesses in addition to my acting career, rather than quit”, she revealed in an interview.
Recalling another challenging period in her career, Alao stated that she had forgiven the editor who lost her movie (master) file worth N12m in 2016. She said, “First, I became very irrational. I blamed and hated myself. Luckily, the company I partnered with stood by me. They actually wanted a reshoot but one of the actors proved very difficult.
“Also, I forgave the editor and I think that helped me.”
