Actress Sunshine Rosman also known as  Shine Rosman has described her role in the critically acclaimed film To Kill A Monkey as one of the most transformative experiences of her career, crediting both divine grace and the guidance of a strong female director for the project’s impact.

Speaking in an interview with News Central, Rosman revealed that stepping into the character “Sparkles” stretched her creativity and emotional range in ways she had never experienced before.

“Channeling Sparkles definitely put me outside of my comfort zone. But I enjoyed every moment of it. God is good. God helps one with everything. You just have to ask Him,” she said.

Despite minimal traditional publicity, To Kill A Monkey has attracted widespread attention for its raw storytelling and authenticity. Rosman believes the film’s success reflects a unique kind of resonance that goes beyond marketing strategies.

“People shoot amazing films all the time. It really just takes the grace of God to be at this level of people embracing the project and the authenticity about it,” she noted. “This film has sold itself, beyond and above. That’s just grace.”

Rosman also spoke highly of the opportunity to work under the direction of Kemi Adetiba, who helmed the project. She praised the filmmaker’s meticulous eye for detail and her ability to elevate performances.

“There is something incredible about working with female directors. Every time I work with them, I feel like I am doing what I should be doing. Nothing gets by them—the nails, the hair, the makeup. Nothing gets past her. She is such a detailed and unique person. It was incredible working with her,” Rosman said.

Beyond the film, the actress reflected on the challenges women continue to face in the broader entertainment industry. She highlighted music as an especially difficult sector for female artists.

“I do think sometimes there are ways women are held back in entertainment, especially in music. It’s a very difficult space for women to navigate,” she added.

With To Kill A Monkey earning strong praise for its storytelling and performances, Rosman’s role as “Sparkles” not only marks a pivotal moment in her career but also reinforces her voice as an advocate for women in creative industries.
