Nigerian music video director, Praise Onyeagwalam, popularly known as Director Pink, has revealed why she gave up on pursuing her acting career.

The award-winning cinematographer explained that the humiliation and sexual exploitation of aspiring actors made her quit that career path.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Director Pink said the humiliation of standing on long queues at movie auditions and shady calls from male filmmakers inviting her to compromising locations, made her switch career to become her own boss.

“I wanted to be an actress but the humiliation was too much. Long queues, shady ‘come to this location’ calls. I said ‘No.’ That’s when I chose to be my own boss,” she said.

Director Pink added that being a music video director is also challenging, but she is willing to make sacrifices for the career.

She urged upcoming music video directors to be patient and embrace delayed gratification, stressing that it took those at the peak years to achieve their current status.
