Nollywood actress Scarlet Gomez has opened up about her journey in the film industry, sharing insights on her career growth, film distribution, and the lessons she has learned over the years.
Reflecting on how far she has come, the actress expressed deep appreciation for her progress and timing.
“I am grateful; that’s all I can say. Everyone who knows my journey understands it has been a long time coming. I believe God makes everything perfect in His time, and this is just my time,” she stated.
When asked about the possibility of exploring music alongside acting, Gomez remained uncertain, leaving the door open.
“Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know,” she said.
She also spoke on key principles that have guided her career, stressing the importance of consistency, faith, and respect for others.
“Hard work pays. God always comes through; He never makes mistakes. Respect and humility matter. By respect, I don’t mean based on age alone; everyone deserves to be treated with respect. All those things count,” she added.
Discussing film distribution and cinema releases, Gomez noted that while cinema culture in Nigeria needs to grow, not every production is suited for theatrical release.
“It would be nice to have more films in cinemas because it will help grow the culture. But, I don’t believe all films should go to the cinema. It depends on the filmmaker. If your budget can carry a cinema release, that’s fine; if it’s YouTube, so be it,” she explained.
