“I got into movie producing because I felt I wasn’t challenged enough. Every time I got a script, it was either a lover girl or I was after somebody’s boyfriend, and I just got tired of that,” she explained.
The mother of four, who describes herself as a “thriller and horror freak,” expressed frustration with the limited scope of roles available to her.
“I felt I had too many stories, so I felt if I ventured into production, I could play the characters I wanted,” she added. Her first production, “Imogen Brown,” which she self-directed, was a significant step in her new journey.
Nadia admitted that the directing part was quite tedious, so she decided to hand over the directing responsibilities for subsequent productions to her brother.
Since then, Nadia has produced four movies, allowing her to create the diverse characters she’s always wanted to portray.
Her latest project, “Forever in a Night,” is a highly anticipated film that explores the life of a woman whose seemingly perfect life unravels throughout one night.
