I cry whenever I watch Breath of Life -Chimezie Imo
The winner of the Trailblazer Award at the just concluded Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, Chimezie Imo, speaks with FAITH AJAYI and NAOMI CHIMA on how he was able to bring his character to life in the movie, Breath of Life
Excerpt below…
How did you feel winning the Trailblazer Award at the just concluded AMVCA?
I have won other awards from film festivals, but I think it is safe to say this is a major one. The feeling has been great. I have always been grateful for every nomination and every win; and for this one, I am thankful for being recognised. I am grateful to the AMVCA team, and everyone who has always supported, criticised, and watched my films.
Why do you think the movie had such a profound effect on people as to make them cry?
Whenever I watch the movie, I still cry. We were just trying to tell a story; there was no attempt to make people cry. But, people watched it, and they felt what the character felt. I tried my best to be Elijah (the character) and transmit every emotion that he felt. I tried to understand his journey, why he is how he is, and I tried to portray him in the most honest way I possibly could. And, that moved people to tears. I guess I did a decent job.
