Publisher’s Note!
People may wonder why Synopsis Magazine features new actors in an online cover of Genius Teens. Well it’s about time our industry introduces new faces, new talents in this rapidly changing 21st Century. As doors open for the newcomers, the “umay” factor in established television and movies will vanish.
Utmost Creatives is very proud to introduce to you new discovered actors in the industry, but from the “indie world” who were once bit players. We now aspire for equal billing with the mainstream actors and indies.
In the Superhero Edition of Synopsis Magazine we are featuring Kimchloie Oquendo, an excellent actor portraying the role of Needle. Utmost Creatives Executives personally chose Kim to do the role of Agatha/Needle and trusted her for the biggest villain role in the Genius Teens Series. And in the opening of Season One of GT you will understand why she is capable to excel at the task and to impress the viewers with her natural acting skills in a villain role.
We interview her about some personal and role playing questionnaire and we also present what the viewers will expect from her character, as well as its origins.
Series Questions:
Q: Tell us about your superpower in Genius Teens. Can you relate to it personally?
A: Needle has venomous needle-like long nails. I love the fact that she can cut your head off or she can kill you just by a small cut. Personally, i like having long nails because it makes me feel powerful for some reason. Also, i enjoyed Needle’s power so much.
Q: Did you tell your friends about Genius Teens, and what was their response?
A: I did and they’re all looking forward to watch ‘Genius Teens’.
Q: Auditions were extremely competitive with over 100 teens trying out. When you won your part, what was your first reaction, and how did you feel?
A. I was shocked. I saw a lot of teens when i auditioned and we were to get a role. I know that they did their best, we all did. The chance of being a part of Genius Teen’s was kind of low , so yes, I was really shocked and ecstatic at the same time.
Q:As one of the main characters, how was your preparation time?
A: First thing i did was to give Needle a character. I had to be consistent on that part so i would be always be prepared to be her whenever I step in front of the camera like when I read my script I could think of how she will deliver those lines. Also, I began to love my character more when I gave her mannerisms. It made me so happy bringing her to life.
Q: Can you compare Genius Teens with Marvel or DC characters?
A: To be honest, yes. It was my dream to have this kind of a Marvel inspired movies after all. When you watch it you will find the difference, because here we are using the total capacity of our brains to have power.
Q: In the Series, you are first known as Agatha. How was the adjustment?
A: I was first known as Agatha, the grumpy student who thinks she’s the greatest person on Earth. Sometimes she can also be very two-faced girl. If we’re talking about mu adjustment, I didn’t had a hard time with it. I asked the lovely writer of the series about Agatha Cenizal, I asked everything about her and it helped me a lot when it comes to building Agatha’s character.
Q: Are you involved in a fight scene? Did you like that?
A: Yes, I was involved in a fight scene. These scenes were very challenging for me but with the help of my co-actor and directors, I went smoothly and fun.

A: They offered me an interesting role then I thought, “I can bring justice to this character”.
Q: Do you think this Genius Teens will help your career?
A: Yes, it will.

A: Speed. In all honesty, I want to have his power. I would like to be a speedster. If we’ll think about it, speedsters can phase through anything, speed healing, high metabolism, fast as a light, etc. But if it’s about personality and back-story, my answer would be Laser.
Q: What can we expect from you in Genius Teens?
A: Expect me giving other characters anger management issue.
Q: How will you help to promote GT?
