Why my new movie will check ‘womanizing, unprotected sex’ – Nollywood actress, Omeili

 


Kiki Omeili is a medical doctor-turned actress. The 2015 GIAMA Best Supporting Actress has added another feather to her cap as she makes her debut as a movie-producer with the release of a short film, “UNPROTECTED.”
 Kiki explains how she interpreted her life experience in the movie. Excerpt:
PT: I just saw your short film “unprotected”, it’s absolutely amazing! Did you write the story from personal experience since according to the movie it is based on true life story?
Kiki: Thank you very much for the compliment. Yes, the story was written based on things I witnessed as a medical student in the College of Medicine, University of Lagos. I had always felt the need to put it out there so that people can see that their actions do not only affect them but also the people around them.
PT: How did you come up with the cast of this movie? I asked this question because the story seems sensitive and therefore needs a perfect cast that can interpret the message of the story to the target audience which the actors/actresses in the movie actually did.
Kiki: Thanks on behalf of all the actors in the film. I’d worked with every single actor/actress in the film, so I knew what they were capable of doing. I knew that they’d interpret their roles perfectly and as you confirmed, they did.
PT: In the movie, you chronicled womanizing with the kind of scenes you portrayed, what were you trying to say?
Kiki: I was trying to show the audience that the lead character “Jonah”‎ was very promiscuous and didn’t protect himself in the process and his actions eventually cost him and his family.
