Should I say it came as a surprise
when a colleague almost ran down the battery of my phone some weeks ago just
because she wanted to tell me she saw me in a film? She eventually saw me
facially and expressed her surprise in seeing me in the film. Lol. Trust me,
being a stage actress herself I used the opportunity to charge her to take her
acting to the next level.
Aborted Dreams was a film whose cast
were mostly students/alumni of Christoline film Academy. It was
written/produced/directed by Kolade Segun Okeowo, a veteran Christian actor
whose vision with the academy is to bring to limelight as many Christian actors
as possible.
The story is about Bimpe, a Christian
lady who was supposed to become a great prophet but found herself sleeping with
an unbeliever named Laja. Despite warning from God and pleas from her friend to
quit the relationship, she refused to yield. Her excuse was that she was
getting too old for any other man to consider as a potential wife. Laja on the
other hand, though carefree, didn’t know somebody was after his life because of
this relationship until he was almost killed by assassins.
The Enigmatic played the role of a
very decent DPO who works with a “common” Nigerian police officer on Laja’s attempted
assassination case. I’d say it wasn’t the best of role interpretation from
Enigmatic Olumide so far though (comparing his other screen and stage roles),
and I know the best is yet to come.
You can grab a copy of the film at
ZionStones Media, movie makers’ village, behind RCCG
