DENISE THOMAS-KERSEY If there was ever a time I needed to remind myself that UCAN! – or that I could, it was in getting this issue together. It seemed as if anything that could go wrong did go wrong. As I was doing my best to not chew my nails down to the quick, I kept saying over and over, “You can do it!” That is what this magazine is about. When facing the mountain of building a creation, the fervor must be there or your project will never take off. Just as I want to remind all of you that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, I too needed to remember that fact. You all know the feeling, when you get almost dizzy with effort before seeing your final, finished product. Songwriters probably write dozens of versions before getting to hear the final song. Filmmakers go through a myriad of procedures before the cameras can even start to roll. Actors have to study and research their characters for countless hours before they can live the joy of transforming. Why do I say all of this? Because, as intimidating as the work seems, it CAN be done. It is done all the time. As one of my favorites speakers said, “It is in the overcoming of a thing that one prepares for promotion.” Taking each step and overcoming those challenges is preparing you for promotion! Never give up, cave in, or quit! There will be some dark times. When you need to lift your artistic spirits, go to a mirror and tell yourself, “You can do this.” When you need that extra kick, go back and shout “UCAN!”

Nepal’s Everest Surya Bohara Bridging the Gap Between East and West

UCAN! Magazine sits down with well known Nepalese actor and filmmaker Everest Surya Bohara. His film MUTU-THE HEART BELONGS TO YOU has captured the hearts of Nepalese audiences throughout America and abroad. He hopes MUTU will touch people not just from his native Nepal but that people from all cultures would feel his work. UCAN! Tell us a little about yourself. BOHARA I have been living here since fourteen years [ago]. I am here in search of bigger sky. I started my journey at the age of seventeen as drama actor in Kathmandu, Nepal. As my journey continued I did many stage dramas, low budget video films and many telefilms for Nepal television. At the age of twenty three, I did my first feature film AGNI PRAKHSYA, and later on I wrote and directed another big screen movie KANCHHA. Both movies were hugely successful at the time. In the meantime, due to the political unrest and instability, [the] movie industry suffered a lot. I decided to come to USA, get my higher education and look for bigger film market. UCAN! Are you influenced by Indian filmmakers since your countries are literally next to each other? BOHARA In a way, it is very unfair. When an Indian movie is released, we understand their language. But they don’t understand Nepali, so it is very difficult to get into that market. UCAN! How long did the entire process take from writing the script to the start of filming? How long from filming, to seeing MUTU on the big screen? BOHARA I started in the first day of New Year 2012, and it took me almost seven months to complete the whole project. UCAN! Wait, that is a very fast turnaround. You saw your project go from the script to a movie screen in seven months? BOHARA (Laughing) Oh yeah. I work real fast. It was really six months, but I thought that seemed too fast to say, so I said seven month. My goal is to be even faster. UCAN! While there are some themes that are somewhat familiar, MUTU is a very unique story. Is there any part of it that is based on your own life? From where did you get the story idea? BOHARA I will never make movies on those topics that I have never seen, felt, or [been] touched by. I like to portray the reality of our time. Certainly MUTU is a story of our generation, especially focused on the struggle of our young fellows who are suffering from unemployment, poverty, and political unrest in the country. It is the story of struggle, love, care, and hope.

UCAN! What are the similarities and differences between finding funding for a film in the US and in Nepal? BOHARA The common goal of filmmaking is storytelling. Regardless of language, geographical and economical differences, all the filmmakers want to say some stories. That is the core objective. I personally believe challenges are everywhere. The only important thing is how we find our ways and keep going and ultimately get there. I do not really like to deal with money. UCAN! Why are you in this business? You write, direct, produce, and act in your projects. Does it ever become overwhelming for you? Do you have a favorite component of the four? BOHARA This is my dream, my passion and way of happiness. I am natural born storyteller. I love storytelling. I do multiple tasks in my movies, and I enjoy doing all that. Yes sometimes it becomes overwhelming and real difficult but, at the end of the day, when I see the result I smile. If wanted to choose, I would just write, direct and act. (Laughing.) UCAN! What is it about the entertainment business that you love (and the same about what you dislike)? BOHARA There are many things I like about myself as a filmmaker. It is a beautiful way of preserving arts, culture, and serving our societies. Honestly, I do not like to deal with money. UCAN! What are your hobbies outside of the business? BOHARA I like to read, travel, and interact with different people all around the globe. UCAN! How do you handle working with difficult people (directors/producers, etc)? Can you give an example or two? BOHARA I do not see people [as] bad and good. All I see is people with many views, thoughts, habits and nature. Naturally, we all are full of negative and positive things. I try to ignore the negative side and try to utilize the positive one. UCAN! What are your goals for yourself and your career over the next year? BOHARA As I mentioned above, I am here in search of bigger sky to fly. I mentioned that happens to be bigger audiences and bigger USA market of cinema. Here, I am with my unique stories and new ideas ready to enter in USA film market. I have invested fifteen years of my life to gain deeper knowledge, wider understanding and higher education here. Now, it is show time.


Toward the end of shooting the film, Surya faces the camera himself as an actor.

UCAN! Does God or spirituality play a role in your business decision making? BOHARA I am less religious and more [of a] spiritual person. I believe in humanity. I try to feel others’ pain. I try to understand others’ sufferings as my own. Once, I step in others shoes, I see things from different prospective or angles that helps me everyday in my decision making process. UCAN! Do you ever plan to make films for American movie goers, or are you satisfied with sticking to Nepalese viewers since they have a genuine understanding of your country and culture? BOHARA That is the one of the biggest reasons that keeps me keep going. My root is in Nepal, Mother and Motherlands are greater than Heaven. At the same time, Nepalese audiences are my primary inspiration. But USA is my adopted family. I have responsibilities towards both societies. I plan to work in both film industries equally. [As a] matter of fact, I intend to act as a bridge to connect both sides. UCAN! How will you be that bridge? BOHARA Of course there are many differences between Nepalese and American cultures. But I can see ways to connect the two. I can help both cultures understand each other better. UCAN! Where was the most surprising place that you have found a Nepalese community? Why were you surprised by it? BOHARA Surprisingly, our communities with Nepalese roots are growing faster all around the globe, [and] that includes here at USA. I am glad to know that while we are advancing in education and technology, we are very conscious about our language, culture and roots. UCAN! Anything inspirational you can say to fellow up-and-coming young filmmakers like yourself? BOHARA Know yourself. Be real and understand the reality. Believe in yourself. Do not give up your dreams. It might take time but you will be there. UCAN! Thank you for taking the time to talk with UCAN!


ASTROLOGY NUMEROLOGY NOW March/April 2013 By Z . S TA R M A N

March 2013 Highlights March 2013 is a NINE universal month. Add 3 (March is the 3rd month) + the Universal year 2013 (2+0+1+3 )= 9. Nine is the number of completions and endings. For March try to end unwanted business or personal relationships that have outlived their usefulness. The beginning of March finds the zodiac family in the midst of a Mercury Retrograde that began February 23 (in the dreamy and mystical sign of Pisces) and will end on March 17. Earthlings observing Mercury’s orbit nightly will notice that Mercury appears to be moving backwards or in reverse against the backdrop of the evening stars. Mercury’s orbit has slowed down and visually gives stargazers on earth the optical illusion Mercury is moving backwards. In astrology lore and legend this illusion or retrograde of Mercury causes people, places and things associated with Mercury to go haywire and out of control. Examples could be cell phone, computer/IT, and transportation issues, also getting along with Gemini and Virgo people ruled by Mercury. Delay after delay is the order of the day. The retrograde of Mercury is a time to rethink, re-plan, and reevaluate our present lifestyle choices. Mercury RX in Pisces challenges us to remember that all that glitters isn’t gold. This is a cosmic timeout or second chance to do something over. Anything new that’s started now will be delayed or most likely fail especially business and personal relationships. Wait until after March 17 when Mercury turns direct to begin new ideas and projects. The week of March 10 Pisces, Cancers and Scorpios can expect a touch of divine intervention and a major boost of adrenaline with the rare line up of seven heavenly bodies in the same sign. The Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus, Mars, Neptune and the asteroid Chiron are all together in Pisces. This planetary alignment will also provide much needed energy to Taurus and Capricorn. Wednesday March 20, the Spring Equinox arrives as the Sun returns to the equator signaling the beginning of the astrological New Year when the Sun enters the fire constellation of Aries 7:02am EDT (4:02am PDT). The Full Moon in Libra on March 27 during Easter Holy Week gives us the opportunity to bring balance to our lives after the post retrograde period. March Celebrity Birthdays: Terrance Howard, March 11. Vanessa Williams, March 18. Spike Lee, March 20. Diana Ross, March 26. APRIL 2013 Highlights April 2013 is a ONE universal month. Add 4 (April is the 4th month) + the Universal year 2013 4+(2+0+1+3)=10 (1+0)=1. ONE is the number of new beginnings. For April it’s a time for fresh starts. This will be a new beginning for the entire planet. The Sun is exalted or works best in Aries making this a second chance for all to keep New Year resolutions made at the start of the calendar New Year on January 1. During the week of April 7, the Spring season is in full effect. Love and romance are in the air when Mars and Venus come together or conjunct in the sign of Aries. For the second consecutive month during the week of April 14 we’ll see another planetary alignment of five planets in one sign this time in Aries. This will benefit fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius and also air signs Gemini and Aquarius. It will be very challenging for Capricorn, Cancer and Libra. The Sun enters the fixed earthy sign of Taurus on April 19 at 6:03pm EDT and 3:03pm PDT. April 25 with the full moon and lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio, be on the lookout for drama and life changing events April Celebrity Birthdays: Eddie Murphy, April 3 Martin Lawrence, April 16. Actress Gina Torres, April 25. Mad TV’s Debra Wilson, April 26. Z.

A Voice of History


One of the things I will always love about Cheryl Wills, the weekend anchor of NY1 News, is that she uses her high visibility for the betterment of other people. No matter how unheard of a cause, if it has a positive influence on those involved, Cheryl will support it if her time allows. However, let it be an opportunity to educate people about African American history, and that is when we see her true calling. “What’s happening, which distresses me tremendously, is that people are forgetting we’ve been here for a long time. I’m on a mission to remind people that we’ve been here for centuries. We were here before America was created,” Cheryl tells me. “We made enormous contributions while we were here. And we suffered mightily the entire way. I don’t want that to be written off as an ‘Oh, by the way…’”. While people of other cultural backgrounds can freely exhibit pride in their roots, it hasn’t always been that way for African Americans. People from around the world have believed the inaccurate portrayals of African Americans by the media with their distorted and mischaracterized images. Just recently an Afro Cuban man asked me why African Americans “didn’t do more for themselves in this country,” as if the ancestors willingly lay down and gave themselves to suffer atrocities and human degradation. “Sandy Wills, my great-great-great grandfather was a slave here. I don’t wear it as something to pity me, but I wear it as a badge of honor. He paid the price for my freedom,” Cheryl states in her expository, news reporter tone. “And it was no cowardly act what he did.”

Sandy Wills fought valiantly in the Civil War as a member of the United States Colored Troops after having escaped the plantation of Edmund Wills. Anyone who knows even a little bit about African American history (which clearly the Cuban did not) knows that Sandy Wills and many other slaves who sought basic human rights did so at the risk of their very lives. Early African Americans knew the fight for justice could easily mean them dying a painful torturous death. Despite that knowledge, the conditions in which they were condemned to live made the choice an obvious one. Actually, there was no choice. While there were some slaves like Samuel L. Jackson’s character portrayal in Django Unchained, most of them faced the dangers head on in their pusuit of freedom. They knew they could be beaten, raped, sold, and ultimately killed just for believing they had a right to live as human beings. Sandy Wills, like all other Colored Troops, fought under the shadow of imminent death. The Confederacy was under strict order to kill – on sight – any Black that was caught enlisting with the Union Army. In her book Die Free: A Heroic Tale, Cheryl tells of Sandy’s heroic actions and how they have positively affected her life. One account in the book is the Battle of Fort Pillow. In April 1864, just north of Memphis, Black soldiers were purposely slaughtered way beyond the rules of war. The innocent wives of these men were also murdered for no other reason than because their husbands fought to end slavery. Cheryl’s motivation, in particular, is to inspire more African Americans to trace their genealogical line. Until the creation of the Internet that was nearly impossible for African Americans to do. Records that are in the National Archives have been scanned and put in their registers for anyone to click on and see.


“What’s happening, which distresses me tremendously, is that people are forgetting we’ve been here for a long time. I’m on a mission to remind people that we’ve been here for centuries. We were here before America was created.” C H E R Y L W I L L S


“I absolutely encourage African Americans whose families have been here for more than a hundred twenty five years. If you know your family was a part of the Slave history of this country, I encourage you to do the research. It’s not as difficult as you might think.” One interesting fact is that during the Civil War, there was a huge migration of African Americans throughout the U.S. As the Union Army burned down the plantations in the south, there were Blacks in the north who were helping to relocate escaped slaves. “This was the most critical time in our lives as African people being in this country,” Cheryl reminds me. “It was critical. You need to know your ancestors’ role during this time. It is not a time that should just disappear into ‘Oh, isn’t that a fun fact?’ No! It’s much more than a fun fact. 1861 to 1865 was a defining moment for us, and our position here hung in the balance. It redefined America as well.” Some will stereotype Blacks as being angry. We’ve all heard the term, “Angry Black Woman.” “I am better than anger. I’m not angry. I’m educating. You know how I do that? Not by being hateful. Not by being angry, but by going into the schools with a smile on my face and telling the great, courageous stories of people that history has been determined to write off.” “When you teach children that if it wasn’t for your ancestors’ courage and fearlessness, you wouldn’t even be sitting in this school…. Somebody had to die for you to even be able to read and write. Anger is a trick of the oppressor. They love for you to be angry, because when you’re angry you’re not productive.” Until I saw how anger holds a people back, I was quite understanding of how African Americans could be angry. But the truth is that anger never benefits its carrier. Today we see how anger in the African American community has actually turned itself inward. “There’s been a real disconnect over the past few decades. It’s obvious. We can see it in our young people. They have no sense of their powerful history. If they did, then why else would they be walking around with their pants down, quite literally showing their asses?” “All this angry stuff, these concoctions and stereotypes you see out here today is not who we are. We are a graceful, gentle, brilliant, strong people. We had to be to get through that hellish period.” Just after celebrating Black History Month, and with Django Unchained winning the Oscar for best original screenplay, this interview seemed like the perfect opportunity to remind people that African Americans have contributed greatly toward America being the most powerful country in the world. The fight to abolish slavery and subsequently the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s showed the world that America, at least in principle, is not a country of intolerance. In fact, I truly believe, that many people from around the world who seek this land as a place of refuge owe African Americans much gratitude and respect.

TO FIND YOUR SUCCESS, TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS BY YARON URBAS That ethos to live by sparked the creation of the Dedicated Actors Group (DAG) by me and my co-founder Taina Elena. DAG is a community and a community-driven production company with a mission to create opportunity for all creatives (not just actors) in the entertainment industry. Taina and I are both actors, but we also consider ourselves actor-preneurs. We always encourage fellow artists to take control of their careers, create their own content, and make their own opportunities whenever possible. Learn the business and grow! We believe that success comes in teams. As individuals we all have something to offer, and we each have varied strengths and weaknesses. But when we come together, we make each other stronger. We encourage our DAG community to share with one another, everything from advice, to contacts, to offering help on a project. Not only is it a good thing in and of itself, it’s a good thing for your career. At DAG, we practice what we preach! We just had our one-year anniversary event, and it was a great celebration! We joined up with other organizations - or what we like to call “friends of DAG” - and hundreds of folks showed up! During our first year we focused on building a community. Now we want to be sure that as the community grows, it stays strong and active. We want our members to continue to understand and practice our core mission of creating opportunities for one another. Now in our second year we are focused on the building of our community-driven production company. We’ve designed projects that incorporate the community overall, which includes writers, talent, to production crews. Along with a few short films, and a feature film to come out this year, our flagship product will be a new web series. It will be backed by a strong business plan that will include much of the DAG community. Stay tuned, because the fun has just begun! Upward and onward together! www.facebook.com/groups/dedicatedactorsgroup http://dedicatedactorsgroup.com/ http://youtu.be/Y25MjQzibVA

Bryan Parker-McKoy started KNOW YOURSELF RADIO in late 2011 as a way to encourage, inspire, and motivate people to be fully comfortable and “at home” with themselves. “Once you know yourself better - wiser and healthier decisions are made. Guests on the show have all overcome obstacles by understanding the importance and value in knowing who they are,” he says. Bryan works extensively with youth who range in age from middle school to college. At Love Fellowship Tabernacle – The Kingdom Church, his church home, he is actively involved in the Youth Empowerment Ministry. Speaking at different schools is also one of Bryan’s regular activities. He remembers several times when he had a direct impact on young people who were listening to him, both on radio and in person. One young boy gained the confidence to pursue his dream of being an artist after listening to Bryan interview a graphic designer/marketing consultant on the radio show. Another, a young girl, was so motivated by Bryan’s appearance at her school that she emailed him directly telling him how much better she felt about life after hearing him speak. “That was uplifting and encouraging to me to keep doing what I love to do.” Bryan is also aware that maintaining a healthy marriage is also something that deserves mention, especially in the eyes of many young people who only know dysfunctional relationships as the everyday norm. ”God is the center of my marriage. Are we the perfect couple? No! We have our disagreements just like any other couple. But we always try to treat each other the way God would want us to. We pray together, we communicate, and we TRY to spend quality time together. It’s not always easy.” “What I would say to someone who wants to get into show business would be to just be effective at what they’re doing. Makes no sense to do something and no one changes for the good afterwards,” Bryan stresses. “If you’re doing it just for the fame and fortune then it will come, and it will go very quickly. But if your goal is to be effective, then all of that will not only come, but it will last!!” http://www.blogtalkradio.com/knowyourselfradio

The band 45 ADAPTERS is creating quite a niche for itself on the Brooklyn music scene. Their day jobs range from a carpenter, to a librarian, to selling of organic food, to the singer being an experience programmer. But at night Chris, Craig, Dave and Gerrard make crowds move with their unique sound and cool energy. Julio, a founding member, has since left the band but is often thought of. o “We’re all record collectors, so the name was a good fit,” says Gerrard Lindsay, the other founding member. “Forty five adapters are the circular inserts you put into 45 rpm records to play them on a turntable. I’m always surprised by how many people, especially younger people, have never heard of them!” o “You can do anything you like, at any age, as long as you’re willing to put in the hard work to make it happen,” Gerrard explains. o Up until recent years, he didn’t even know how to hold a guitar pick. Another challenge was that he considered himself tone deaf. “Music didn’t come easily to me.” o Despite those doubts, Gerrard made up his mind and went to work investing many hours and enduring tons of frustration, all in the name of doing what he loves. o “People have this idea that only one percent of the population should make music, or make art, or dance. The rest of us are just supposed to sit on the couch and passively consume whatever the corporate powers spoon feed us. Don’t buy it!” o The band members love music. They are self described music fanatics who are either buying records, talking about music, going to shows or DJing around town. Making their own music is just an extension of that. Gerrard concludes, “We’re never going to make any money from it, we just do it for the love.” o
