Never Stop
Chasing
I had someone who was going to be
my rock when it came to my career . .
. . When the answers started to come .
. . I can’t describe to you, but I stopped
everything.” Finding his way back to
his craft by finishing his most recent
script has helped the young producer
get through this hardship. Now he
says, “That was a big accomplishment
for me, and I told myself, I’m never
going to allow anyone, I don’t care
how much I love them to push me
away from my love, which is acting.
Acting, acting, acting.” He shares that
acting is his life and that he, along
with his faith in God, is what will
make it happen.
For Bakari, it’s about supporting an individual through the journey,
not just after they’ve arrived. “You
need to be celebrating with me now
like this is legit, like this is 100%,” he
says. “That’s what I need.”
Bakari’s second independent
film, “Visitant,” filmed in February
depicts the tale of two friends who
start to experience a series of unset-
tling events after uncovering a mysterious dark box. The sequel continues
the tale once a package arrives outside
the cabin door of a young girl and her
friends celebrating her 21st birthday
in the woods. Bakari assures us this
film will be taking it to a new level
stating, “This time things are more
violent, things are more gruesome,
things are more intense, and . . . It’s
darker.” Hence, Dark Hours.
On that note, I asked Bakari
to shed more light on his interests in
the paranormal realm and his answer
points back to his love of his craft.
“I’m looking for people that . . . have
no limit . . . I want you to sound crazy,
I want you to look crazy, I want you to
do things that are weird and abnormal
because that is what makes horror
so enjoyable . . . When those actors
and actresses are playing possessed
humans, that is them acting. Everything else is just special effects.” So if
it doesn’t feel wrong, you’re not doing
it right.

Production derived from a hashtag
he used while promoting himself on
Instagram only this past year (2015).
Today, Bakari pushes his team and
isn’t afraid to test their limits. “I push
my actors and my production team
members to their breaking point to
see how well they work under pressure, because if you can’t work under
pressure with me and you can’t be
focused, and everything I say, you
take to heart . . . how are you going to
make it out in Hollywood?”
