I made money from my role on 'Beasts of No Nation' - Ama K. Abrebese

British-Ghanaian actress and producer Ama K. Abebrese has stated how she benefitted from her role in the 2015 hit movie, "Beasts of No Nation."

Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime, Abebrese revealed that despite 'Beasts of No Nation' being a private production, unlike the larger Nollywood and Hollywood projects, the film exceeded expectations in popularity and success.

She described her experience on the film as 'amazing' and noted that all the characters, including herself, benefited financially from the project's recognition and awards.

"I know a lot of people made a lot of money off that film. I made money, not as much as I would, but I made money," she said.

Abebrese further spoke about the rigorous process she underwent to secure a role in the acclaimed film.

She stated how she went through the standard audition process, just like any other applicant.

However, driven by her passion for the role, Abebrese fasted and prayed for days leading up to the audition.

"They had the auditions in East Legon, and I was so nervous. I remember when I went into the auditions, I fasted and prayed for days, and I was so skinny," she said.

Her dedication paid off as she delivered an impressive performance that left a lasting impression on the judges.

"There was a lady in the room who was like, 'You're going to make me cry,' and that made me feel like even if I didn't get that role, I knew I killed that audition. So I gave in my all," she said.
