For example”, in ”Breaking Point, She Devil, A Minute To Midnight, Master Stroke, Play Boy, Rumours, Shattered Illusion, Promise Me Forever, and Emotional Crack… not forgetting Private Sin.
Describing her success, Emem described her success as ”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 movie 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 and that gave me the break that I needed.
Some of her movies includes Promise Me Forever, Girls In The Hood, Private Sin, Behind Closed Doors, Darkest Night, Enslaved, Games Women Play, Masterstroke, Men Do Cry, Blind Obsession, Silence Of the Gods, Mfana Ibagha, Ekaete, For Real, Endless Lies and finally Critical Decision, which Emem describes as the very best she has ever written.
