The Shooting Schedule for "Going Up North"

As-salaamu `alaikum,

Alhamdulillah, the schedule for principle filming of Going Up North has been decided. The shooting will take place on the weekend in order to accomodate everyone's schedule. Since it is a short film a bunch of Muslim guys on a road trip, a lot of the scenes will take place in the car and it most of it will just require one actor at a time reading his lines while a few scenes will require all the actors in them.

I've decide that the weekend of May 4-6 will be the principle shoot and if necessary (like we need to reshoot something, etc.), May 18-20 insha Allah.

Insha Allah, with "Tomorrow Never Comes", are dive into the short film arena will be worthwhile. Originally, our intention at Ummah Films was always to make movies, starting off with short films and then feature length movies. But with the huge success of "The Reminder" video series, we had to hold off making movies and focus on the show. Now I and Ali can focus on movie making and produce something that will not be only entertaining but be inviting people to remember and obey Allah.
