Diane Russet, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, actress, and director, has revealed an event that nearly terminated her film career.
Diane mentioned how she lost the file for one of her film projects and had to reshoot it, emphasizing that the event nearly drove her away from filmmaking.
She claimed that she did not resign because of the encouragement of her industry friends.
She told this while appearing on Hip TV’s Trending with Elozonam.
Kimoprah, another reality celebrity, presented the show.
Diane said, “I usually thought that you had to go to film school, learn all the basics and all that. But they [my industry friends] also told me that you can learn on the job. So, I’m still learning on the job. It doesn’t mean I won’t go to film school. Hopefully, I will go to film school.
“I’m learning on the job and it has been exciting. They [my industry friends] keep pushing me even when I feel like giving up.
“There was one project that we lost the file, and I had to reshoot and that cost me a lot. And I remembered saying, ‘You know what? This is my last production. I am done.
“I gave up. Everytime, they [my friends] will say, ‘Just finish seeing that one, you will come back again and we will produce another film.’ So, they always keep me going.”
