Nollywood actress Sylvia Edem is set to premiere her new
movie, ‘Sandcastle’, on July 9, 2017 while it goes to the cinema on July 14,
2017.
‘Sandcastle’, a romantic thriller directed by Edward Ukah,
highlights the plight of the physically challenged in the society, the visually
impaired in this case.
The movie stars actors such as Ojo, Charles Okocha, Shirley
Igwe, Mary Uranta, Sylvia Edem and Bassey Okon Bassey. Others are Gift Akiri,
Mary Akiri, Nzoma Onyia and Vidal Briggs.
In the movie, Sylvia plays the role of Timi, a young blind
girl who finds favour with a prominent man Ayade, played by Wale Ojo.
Esosa-Mary Uranta is upwardly mobile lady and every man’s dream but she
competes for the attention of Ayade.
“We plan to take this movie to every state in Nigeria
because it’s not just a movie but one that rekindles hope,” Edem said.
“Through this movie, the physically challenged needs to know
that they are not different from any other person, they are accepted and that
they can be who they want to be. As a matter of fact, we’ll be giving out free
tickets to the physically challenged in every state we go to screen
Sandcastle.”
Speaking on his role in the movie, singer Bassey Okon Bassey
said this is his first feature length movie.
“As an artiste I get to be in front of the camera every now
and then but this is different,” said Bassey.
“I’m grateful to Sylvia for giving this opportunity. I
enjoyed the set of ‘Sandcastle.’ And the story-line for me is different.”
