Stephanie talks about the movie...
How do you feel about being back on set after being absent for quite a while?
I am very excited. It hasn't been a long absence. I just finished
shooting some episodes for my upcoming Reality TV Show – "Make Me
Fabulous". However, this is a Western movie and I’m very glad to be
among the cast. It’s something different, it’s a faith based movie and
it’s really something I’d love to do.
What is your role in the movie?
I play the role of Doris, a lady from the second generation of slave
trade in America whose parents came from Nigeria. Doris is no longer a
slave and she lives with her Uncle in this community where people are
not judged by their race or colour. She is a strong compassionate woman
who forms a bond with a young girl, Melinda, who grew up not knowing her
father. Doris plays the role of convincing her Uncle to reveal the
truth to this young girl about her father’s whereabouts. She also helps
take care of Miss Mary, Melinda's grandmother when she was ill and
sheltered a young boy who had no place to stay.
Where is the movie being shot?
The movie is shot in Los Angeles,USA.
What else brings you to Los Angeles?
Not only am I acting in this movie, I am currently doing post-production
for my soon to be released movie, DRY which I’m also very excited
about.
