She’s the new ‘Nollywood kid on the block’ and after her audition for the role of Margaret, producer and co-director of Streets of Calabar, Charles Aniagolu decided that Lisa was Margaret in more ways than one.

“The role of Margaret is actually a difficult one to play. It requires someone who can come across as being quite strong but also vulnerable and slightly naïve. We all agreed that Lisa had the look we were searching for but that alone is not enough. She convinced us in her audition performance that she was indeed the right actor for the role.” Charles said.
Frank Macaulay, co-director said of Margaret’s character: “The role is of a young mixed race woman, with an approachable quality that makes people feel she’s the girl next door. But she’s also a character who is sensual and virginally innocent, easily fearful, but honest to a fault. Lisa fit the bill and we were very happy with her audition".

Lisa was interviewed on the set of Streets of Calabar after completing one of the bedroom scenes with Anthony Ofoegbu “I was so excited to be selected to play the role of Margaret. It’s a fantastic opportunity for me and I am very grateful. Filming in Calabar has been the most amazing experience. It’s such a beautiful city and everyone is super friendly. I can’t wait to come back for the premiere”.
