My name is Emerald Obahiagbon, and for a long time, my dream has been to become a director. Ever since my six-year-old self discovered that movies and cartoons could be written down in a

Read more/less

script and then be brought to life, I fell entirely in love with the concept of filmmaking and I started exploring the world of film by writing. My writing at six years old was as bad as you think it is, I was writing about towns that were purple and everything and everyone were variations of the color, reading those manuscripts now makes me cringe so hard but it brings back beautiful memories. I remember writing beside my Mother (a scriptwriter and producer) underneath a candlelight, in the dead of the night.
Till today I still write with a pen and a paper when I’m creating stories that are close to my heart.
And that’s how six-year-old me found Nollywood, I’ve tried most of it; from writing to acting and presenting, to continuity, to producing, to costuming and assistant directing, heck even basic editing. You could probably argue that I know practically nothing about them since I’m doing too much but you’d be wrong. Although I’d prefer to stick to writing in that regard, I just felt understanding every department would make me a good director and I still think so.
I’ve been in the entertainment industry for fifteen years, in those fifteen years, I’ve tried my hand at a myriad of things, all with the goal of making myself a somewhat competent director, although I’m still quite far from being competent but I’ve come a long way and I think six year old me would smile up at me today, she might not tell me she’s proud of me, but she’d give me a pat on the back for sure.
I want to use this medium to thank ELCA for having me, it’s truly been an experience and a special thanks to Mr Olu and Mr Nathan, My HOD and TA respectively, they’ve been more than a source of inspiration and encouragement for me. I came to ELCA to cement the voice I wanted to project as a filmmaker and they helped me do just that.
My dream is to give people a world to disappear into, the same way films have always been a source of comfort for me, each film I love always feels like a new home. I hope that one day, I can give that to people around the world.
Here’s me signing out, this is Emerald; Author, Actor, Writer and Aspiring Director, the jack of all trades and master of none, not yet at least.
