Shhhhh! Don't tell anybody, but there are real-life superheroes in this world, those who bravely defy obstacles and make life more fun and spectacular for the rest of us. Kai Soremekun is one these individuals who is using her special secret powers to produce CHICK, the indie soap that inspires and challenges its audience to tap into their own super power strength. In this interview, this inspiring talent will share with us how CHICK evolved.We Love Soaps: Before we talk about CHICK, I’d like to go back a bit. Where are you from?
Kai Soremekun: I’m originally from Toronto, Canada. I grew up there, and came to the states to go to the American Musical & Dramatic Academy in New York City.
We Love Soaps: What caused you to move to Los Angeles?
Kai Soremekun: I was focused on acting, and they said to come out to L.A. for pilot season. When I got here I realized that as far as work in television the opportunities were ten times more than they were in New York City. In my second year I booked a series regular role on the Fox network show, MEDICINE BALL [1995]. It was exactly GREY'S ANATOMY, but unfortunately we did not do as well as GREY'S ANATOMY. We aired for nine episodes, but it was a great experience, and the reason I went back to school to study filmmaking. I had worked so hard to realize the dream of being a regular on a TV show. Then when I got it, it was a little disillusioning. I guess I envisioned a lot more freedom, and it was exactly the opposite. Once you are of value to someone on a TV show they wants to keep the reins on you.
