For me, acting is hobby, not profession –Lisa Omorodion

What is the title of your movie, and when is it hitting the cinemas?
It is entitled ‘First Cut’. It will hit the cinemas across the country this month.
Tell us about the movie.
‘First Cut’ is an emotionally charged movie, produced by me but it was directed by Chico Ejiro. It is an educative, captivating and thrilling movie which delivers a theatrical blend of morals, fashion, education, information and professionalism in filmmaking and production. The movie lines its plot with a collection of suspense, emotions, neglect, sex, insecurity, parenting, abuse, trauma and other psychological tendencies that throw it on the highway of creative suspense.
What’s the focus of the story?
It narrates the story of KC Morgan as the central character, which is played by Lisa Henry Omorodion, my humble self; a character with a talent respected by many yet suppressed by trauma. The plot, however, thickens when the central character finds herself being oppressed by loved ones even as a painful secret threatens to shatter the new life she has created for herself. This brings viewers to the point in the movie where the question surfaces: ‘Can she face her demons and let go of the past, which has hounded her for so long?’
Where does the film revolve?
In fact, it is a movie that revolves around the theme of rape, a treacherous love-triangle and conflicting family ties.
Who are the known stars in the plot?
Some of them are Monalisa Chinda, Joseph Benjamin and Bobby Obodo.
How about funding, how challenging was it?
Having come from a wealthy background has helped me in a way. I don’t have to source for funds before embarking on a film project. I am not in the industry because of what I’m going to make out of it. I can decide to star in a movie without demanding for a fee. I will tell the producer, I love to feature in your movie and you don’t have to pay me. I don’t see acting as a profession; rather, I see it as a hobby.
