AA: What do you find most difficult about the industry? NK: The most difficult part, to me, about this industry is the wait. What I mean by that is whether you are an actor, director, writer, or producer, you will always be waiting on something, whether that’s for someone to review your script or to find out if you were cast in a project. Or even waiting to see who will pick up your completed project. The term “Hurry up to wait” is so true in the film industry. You eventually get used to it, but it can be difficult at first, especially if you’re passionate about it. AA: What successful tips would you tell the next inspiring actor/ director? NK: I have five successful tips that I would share with inspiring actors and directors. 1. Keep God first. 2. Always be willing to adapt. 3. Connections are the most important thing. 4. Make yourself memorable. 5. Never give up. AA: Do you have any favorite actors you would like to work with? NK: I would love to work with Antonia Gentry, Tessa Thompson, John David Washington, and Brian Tyree Henry, just to name a few. However, I love working with upcoming individuals such as John Blaq and my entire “Coma Couch” cast. I would like to discover new rising stars as well. AA: Are there any upcoming projects that you would like to share? NK: My first feature, “Coma Couch,” is complete and is set to release this year. Follow my page to find out the release date when it’s announced. I am also working on my second feature, “Mary”, which I plan to start production in 2023. I also have several other projects I’m working on, ranging from features to episodic series. AA: Stay connected with Nachela Knox via her website and social media platforms.
