According to Psalm, the producer assured him of bigger payments in their subsequent projects which never came to pass. After this Psalm was offered another job by Emmanuel and that was when he was invited to shoot ‘Taxi Driver’.

He narrates that following that damsel was one of his misguided steps in life as she proved to be a terror for his children birthed with his wife.
