MUHAMMAD THE MOVIE
Hello, we're making the first English-language feature film telling the true story of the life of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
The true story of Muhammad's life is bigger than Ben Hur and even better as the subject of a movie. It is fascinating, filled with action, and above all a true story which will keep people riveted to the screen.
Surprisingly few people know the true story of Muhammad life, and very few people are ever going to read the Arabic sources, so making a movie to tell the story makes a lot of sense at a time when it is a subject that has been shaping the world for 1400 years and has perhaps never been as important as it is today.
To live in a peaceful world, it is important that people understand each other's perspectives. If you don't understand what the another person is thinking, there is no way you will ever understand what they are saying and feeling. For those reasons the story of Muhammad is not only great entertainment, it's perhaps the most important movie of our time!
How The Funds Will Be Used
Right now we are speaking with directors and CGI studios, so first up funding will help with that outreach,
then move us toward production. Our next task is the major funding round, and the more money has
been raised from the public, the easier it will be to get the big commitment required to begin the shoot!
The Challenges
Completing a cinema project can run into the issues of insufficient funding and inadequate script, withdrawal of services by key personnel, or distribution difficulties.
My team and I have extensive connections within the film industry in Australia, Germany, India and the United States. We are as able to draw finance to a project in this stage of its development as anyone in the industry. Similarly, with script management, we know we have a solid script, that will pass review at any level of production based on our extensive experience and peer review. Personnel issues can plague even the largest production companies, but we have sufficient flexibility that these present no especial obstacles.
Regarding distribution, our premarket promotion plans are well laid and extensive, and we have excellent people to negotiate distribution on our behalf in most markets. We also have guaranteed digital distribution.
Some people may be concerned with the subject matter: Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam. Muhammad has been presented in film previously, principally in Arabic, and the convention is that his face is not to be shown. Our production shoots around the physical figure of Muhammad entirely so not representational controversies will be encountered.
Similarly, the story we are telling has been told before and is not controversial for mainstream Muslim audiences. The timelines are well known, the events are well established, the issues extensively discussed. The innovation of our project is primarily to tell the story in the English language, and hence it is not great conceptual leap.
