Rita Dominic, apart from having an alluring appeal that makes one feel welcome, her smooth, soft voice is sensuous, especially when she wears one of her red trade mark lipsticks, which she has traded for a more matured look for now. Rita is the fans\u2019 delight anytime as seen by TOPE OLUKOLE in this write-up.<\/p>\n

Rita\u2019s stage presence in movies largely draws from the emotions and passion with which she enraptures her audience, as she successfully interprets her roles to the last detail. Often as sweet as candy, she\u2019s got the looks such that one could at once feel she was born for the screens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want roles that would take me away from the usual norms; you know, challenging roles,\u201d she blurts to signal her confidence level. Although, she wouldn\u2019t be too specific, Rita admits she\u2019s done one or two such roles that took her out of the stereotype in movies. Her appetite isn\u2019t quenched yet. \u201cI\u2019m still looking to do more. You know, challenging roles, I mean roles that will stretch me and take me away from anything that has to do with me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

And Rita knows, to star in a novel, unconventional movie role will have to begin with an exceptionally brilliant script. \u201cIt has to be a very good script with great and challenging characters. At this point of my career, I\u2019m looking to doing roles that would push me further and bring out the little things that I have inside, which I never thought I had or knew existed,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

That Rita talks and walks with the poise of someone who knows her natural talent is not in doubt but what might appear a bit queer is the root of the courage and confidence that pushed her to opt for the camera lens when her family is rooted in an elite profession. Though her parents are medical practitioners, (her father was a medical doctor and her mother, a nursing officer), Rita, the youngest of four children was intent on pursuing her passion.<\/p>\n

She always imagined herself mingling with the best of Hollywood and exhibiting her brilliant acting skills on set. So, she started performing when she was a child, appearing in school plays and children\u2019s television shows like \u2018children\u2019s variety show\u2019 and \u2018Junior opinion\u2019. When she was in primary school, Rita was already showing traits of her great talents, winning several dance competitions both at the local sports club and later at the Federal Government College, Ikot- Ekpene, before she went on to obtain a Degree in Theatre Arts from University of Port Hacourt, in 1998. Rita, who hails from the royal Waturuocha family of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State, got her first chance to star in a movie-\u201dA Time to Kill\u201d. Her talents, shone through as she rapidly rose through the ranks, clinching the 2004 City People Awards as the Most Outstanding Actress.<\/p>\n

However, Rita insists she\u2019s not resting on her oars and declares that she\u2019s got something new up her sleeves. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping to shoot good movies and tell good inspirational stories that hopefully, people out there can take something positive away from,\u201d she volunteered.<\/p>\n

Away from the TV screens and cameras, Rita could also come across as a taciturn; preferring terse, concise answers to broad views on going-ons in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, piracy! That\u2019s a big one\u201d, she spurts after a moment of reflection on a question about limiting factors in Nollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd of course, distribution. That\u2019s another one,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Like it\u2019s widely believed, Rita acknowledges that scripting constitutes a huge challenge in Nollywood; although she thinks the present scenario still deserves some credit.<\/p>\n

\u201cNollywood is known for the simple stories that we tell,\u201d she said, adding,\u201dWe tell the stories that the man on the street can relate to. But, if we can do fantastic stories and make it better\u2026.. you know, better quality, better scripts and better equipment and distribution; then we\u2019ll just explode. We actually need an infusion of all these,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rita admires real and humble people, loves guys who are cool, polished, intelligent and who know how to put it all together to achieve that individual sense of style.www.nigerian-movies.net<\/p>\n
