The director of the award winning movie, Wedding Party, Kemi Adetiba, in an interview, said she will win an Oscar award in 2-5 years.
Kemi Adetiba, in a chat with CNN’s “African Voices”, where she shared inspiring work ethnics, revealed she knew the movie would be a success because of her approach towards making the movie.
She said,
“The greatest thing you can do for yourself is every time you have the opportunity to handle someone’s project, knock it out the park, and that is what I live by every day”
The pretty director talked about her career, future, upcoming projects and why the series “King Women” is so important to her.
On her King Woman Project:
“The reason why I developed King Women is because I wanted women to see these role models of the earth, these women that we draw inspiration from that we put on pedestals, I wanted them to see them in their glory, but also understand that they have also gone through life, and life for them was not easy… People need to hear these stories, and I’m so grateful to everyone who gave me their time to make this series.”
On future and her upcoming projects,
“I honestly do believe that winning an Oscar is going to come very soon, I’ve given myself two to five years.”
Why she chose the movie director profession,
“I was questioning my longevity in front of the camera… I’d also find it intriguing when I would go off for shoots with the cameramen… I said: ‘Instead of just wasting a couple of years, how about I learn a new craft while I’m doing that? What is the thing that I want to learn now? What is the thing that will take my career to the next level? – being a director.’”
