Nollywood actress and filmmaker Uzoamaka Power has explained the different demands of acting and directing, saying the two roles require her to approach filmmaking from different perspectives.
Speaking during a panel session at NECLive 2026, Power said acting requires her to focus on the scenes, characters and people involved in a story.
She explained that directing comes with wider responsibilities. These include paying attention to production design, wardrobe, sets and other details that shape the look of a film.
Unlike acting, which requires her to focus on her character and the scenes, directing demands that she consider how different parts of a production come together.
Power also discussed the importance of teamwork on film sets. She said she enjoys working with crew members who are willing to share ideas and make creative suggestions.
However, she noted that everyone must understand their responsibilities on set. She stressed that being open to contributions should not mean ignoring the roles assigned to different crew members.
