movies… you would see what I am saying. For example, in ''Breaking Point,

Play Boy,
Rumours, Shattered
Illusion,
Promise Me Forever, and
Emotional Crack…
not forgetting
Private Sin.''
Describing her success, Emem says it was, ''Hit And Run... that made
people sit up and notice what I could do. But the one that made me happiest
was
Emotional Crack, which took me to festivals outside the country,
particularly the African Film Festival in New York. I was invited… and that
exposed me to meet with a lot of other film-makers and some others in the
film industry. That is the one… that gave me the break that I needed.''
