The movie 'Remarkable' is a highly anticipated Feature film Produced and Directed by the multi award winning Bright Obasi Wonder.  It is a romantic drama that tells the story of a young couple who let a little misunderstanding and albeit pride, turn their marriage into a whirlwind of emotions.

The focus of this article is however centred round the multi talented lead actress in the movie, Miss Titi Joseph. I know this first hand because I have worked with her. She is a hardworking, charismatic and down to earth actress who brings almost any character in a story to life. Give her a Zombie role, she'll nail it. Turn her into an Old woman, she'll nail it to the T.  Ask her to play the role of a 13 year old school girl and she'll deliver. The movie Remarkable is the first movie where Miss Titi was laced with the responsibility of playing the role of lead actress.

When asked about how she felt about playing lead in a major movie, Miss Titi said and I quote: "I think for every actor, it gets to that point in your career you know more than ever that you need to step up. Despite the fact that most actors even from the beginning usually set their minds on playing lead where a story is centred round your character and you have the means to show your acting chops. So playing lead in this movie, I took it really seriously. Yes I was happy about it, but there was also this feeling of it being a huge responsibility and challenges like ‘shey you wan act, oya act oo, we don give you na. Act am make we see’. So that’s how I felt. Happy, but with great responsibility".

One would think that acting along side award winning male actors would intimidate Miss Titi Joseph, but she categorically stated that she learns by feeding off the energies of the people she acts with and is always humble enough to learn from them and take constructive criticisms from them as well. She also mentioned that acting alongside Daniel and Tope was an amazing experience. She said 'Allow me to use this medium to tell them that I appreciate them so much. They were so cool, nice, down to earth, no ego whatsoever and very professional'.

 

Miss Titi Joseph also stated some of the challenges she faced while shooting this movie. She said 'I think most of the challenges were before the shooting. The greatest of it all was the fear of not getting it right because the character ‘Eva’ that I played in the movie Remarkable wasn’t just a lead but a strong and emotional character. With the help of my director and acting coach and also the writer of the movie ‘Bright Wonder’, I made it. We talked about my fears and he walked me through it to a place of strength and hope, and ‘’I can do it and do it well’’. He would always say ‘you won’t fail, we won’t fail, and even if we did, what’s the worst that can happen? We dust ourselves, rise and try all over’. With that kind of great mind around me plus his patience, I overcame my fear'.

As par reactions and expectations, Miss Titi is hopeful that her best will be good enough to enable people allow the story impact their lives and also have a good time watching it.

Remarkable is scheduled to premier on the 27th day of August 2016, and will hold at National Merit House Maitama, Abuja. Find the trailer of the movie after the cut:
