Veteran Nollywood act has explained why she no longer in films but rather work behind the camera as a movie producer.

She said: “I always knew that I would like to go behind the camera and produce my own film. When it was time to form a production company that I co-own, it was a no-brainer because I had always wanted to do it.

Corroborating her stance, she pointedly made it clear that she was avoiding being libeled: “At some point in my career, I wanted to evolve and do different things. The people we used to work with a lot then didn’t understand that. More like they couldn’t be bothered. So I wasn’t getting work. I was blacklisted silently.

“Back then, there was a major blacklisting of some actors. Some of them got a lot of flack for it. However, mine was silent and I knew. That was actually one of the things that made me start producing movies.

“I went on to form the Audrey Silva Company with my business partner and we then produced ‘The Meeting’.”
