Proof that preparation meets opportunity.Jessica Gabriel Ujah booked the lead in Olive Nwosu's "Lady" and a compelling doctor role in Clarissa by the Esiri Brothers; both traveling international festivals, and her path to these projects ran straight through Sunkanmi Adebayo, casting director and host of the Actors Workshop. If you're serious about the craft, get in that room.Two days to go. 22nd -23rd May | Virtual Registration closes soon, click link in bio to register. #ActorsWorkshop #Nollywood by @symplyjess

HAPPY CLARISSA PREMIERE DAY! As CLARISSA premieres today at Cannes, I can't help but reflect on the journey that led here and the entire process that went into the making of this beautiful film. For me, late office nights, buried in tons of paperwork and also got to be part of the cast... I am just so grateful to be here and to be a part of cinema, both off-screen and on-screen.Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of CLARISSA, 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Enjoy some of my favorite slides from the production process. I met some of the coolest people ever on this project.P.S. @fumnanyaochei and I just be cooking up songs out of thin air. 🎶 My best girl.na God do this one! by @symplyjess
