Weekend Magazine: You acted, directed and wrote a film about cancer. What motivated that?

Oby Edozieh: The Movie 'SAVE OUR SOULS', I acted, produced & wrote the story. I lost my dad to cancer and cancer has killed a lot of people and in most cases due to late detection. I decided to produce this advocacy movie, to help educate and remind the general public of the need for regular medical checkups. Truly this movie is very dear to my heart.

How have you been able to joggle between these three important roles in a movie?

I already finished the script before producing. I had a very good production manager that was capable of handling the cast/crew. All was also hard work and dedication. God was also my strength
