It has come to my attention that there's a video in circulation of a Ugandan actor Jovan Victor Nsubuga who is homeless in the streets of Canada. I woke up to inbox messages of the video asking me "ISN'T THIS JOVAN?" The little i know about Jovan is that he is a brilliant actor who left the Uganda in such of greener pastures but the plans did not go well. When he was still in Uganda, I was contacted about how Jovan was struggling with addiction and he had moved back to his mother's house in Lugazi. One of the things that hit us hard as artists is isolation. Many times, many of us feel left out or distant from each other and this leads to more complications and vices. I mobilised a group of actors, we fundraised to take essentials home and I was trusted with the responsibility of sitting with Jovan to understand his predicament and standing with him. Fast forward, with all help coming from all who cared for him, Jovan found himself and fought to get back to what he did best. ACTING. We tried to get him acting jobs and he even got back online, he was accessible whenever we wanted him for work. Later, i heard that Jovan had relocated to Canada, I thought that was something great. His online content showed a lot of love and merry. The brother was back on his feet. And THEN..........Now our Jovan is on the streets homeless. I am trying to get in touch with some Ugandan colleagues in Canada to see how they ca help Jovan. I know actor Mushema Housen is already looking for him, film producer Walta Gabriel Busulwa (Ugandan based in Canada) is also working helping and filmmaker Bwayo Moses is also trying his best to find Jovan We wish Jovan all the best and i will be back to update you when i have anything new.

American based Ugandan actress/filmmaker, Kemiyondo Coutihno has been working on a project for 7yrs. She has refused to wait any longer for funds and so she has decided to come back home and do a table reading with an amazing cast. The film is a romcom (romantic comedy) and it's called "BANANA REPUBLIK". Kemiyondo has called upon anyone who has any fund connections (Gamba N'OGUs) with liquid to put in the project to reach out to see this piece come to life. Congratulations Kemi upon getting this far. May the universe align for the project to be made. You are one of those abroad artists who continue to make work that shines light on Uganda. #MakingUgFilmsFamous

What a neat presentation by former Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Executive Director Jennifer S Musisi. Take off your 19mins to listen to this. She hints about life threatening dangers she encountered during her time as ED, how she soldiered on until she resigned in 2018.
