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.

You should moderate your comments like Ali & UF so you only get the good ones.

Was ALI really the founder of Soldiers Of Allah (SOA) Rap group? Wow! He has really changed.

2xs inspired by Ali of UmmahFilms

As Salaamu alaykum,
This post is to send a special "Thank you" to Ali (currently of UmmahFilms). As Du'at (dawah carriers) we are constantly looking for ways to deliver the message of Islam. Long ago we started an Islamic Hip-Hop group called Al-AMR (Association for Muslim Revival) after we heard of Ali's rap group Soldiers Of Allah (S.O.A.). Now we are engaged in producing dawah videos on DawahWorks.com due to the success of UmmahFilms. Keep up the good works Ali. We at DW are your inspired fans.

DONT TAKE THIS WARNING LIGHTLY. I WILL GIVE YOU ONE WEEK TO POST. THE MACHINE IS ALREADY IN PLACE TO BEGIN EXPOSING YOU...

What would be the purpose of exposing Ali? 9-11 changed many Muslims. The only thing I would say is that they should have been named soldiers of revival or soldiers of truth instead of SOA. Then they would have had no need to change.
