Alens True Islam Movie
-
Salam.
Second, i need to stay somewhere in London, apartmetns also cost. The nearest i found is close like 45 minutes to the studio but i will search further, unless someone has better information then me.
Peace.
Cant anybody in this forum who lives in London provide accomodation for bro Alen in order to cut cost?
For additional financial aid I think it is a good idea to try to find prominent connections such as open-minded and moderate muslim figures in Britain or anywhere who would like to offer support.

Salam.
Thank you all for support and i'm grateful to Allah Almighty for giving me brothers and sisters who support me in this.
I was thinking about this, that i could put the script up here and then we could all read it but i do have to fix one page and i'm gonna put it on the FreeMinds Forum as soon as i find the right protection for the script.
Believe me, i don't wanna make money with religious issues because i already have several scripts that don't deal with Islam.Sister Tifah is also trying to make a documentary about Islam, she could also use some help.
Peace.

peace Alen,
...as soon as i find the right protection for the script.
Why are you concerned about protecting the script if you say you dont want to make money with religious issues? What is your reasoning for the copyright?
It is very easy to copyright something in less than a week. See the following thread for info
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=12923.msg105798#msg105798In any case, if you are still concerned about copyright, post a quarter or half of the script. Simple.

Peace to all,
Why dont we just give Alen the benefit of the doubt and support him. He is not trying to make a proffit with religion he is trying to get the message out. Even a believing movie maker has to be concerned about investors , distributors, etc, and they are the ones that need financial assurances. Also, Wakas, Alen is not concerned to protect the script because he wants to make money, he has incorporated some work of other writers that he needs to protect in order for him to use the material, thats why he needs to assure its protection, lets stop trying to pick apart his intentions.
This kinda reminds me of the verse in the Quran 2412 " Why did not the believing men and woman when they hear an accusation, think well of their own people and say this is an evident lie"

Salam,
yeah, perhaps copyright would assure a successful distribution of Alen's film and its message. Sorry if my previous post implanted negative thoughts or doubt..
All the best Alen! D

Regardless of money concerns, I think it's his right to protect his hard work... We don't have to compromise anything or anyone for this good project. Good begets good )
Let's work on finding a safe way to get the script online.
Bro Wakas posted a way to copyright, which I haven't read. Maybe this is what we need. -
AOA Alen
I would love to work in your movie. When do you plan to make it?Salam.
As soon as i get the budget, you can be in the movie.
When i hire the studio, God willing, i can invite you all to the test screening.
What worries me a lot is this a sunni might locate me and either add sunna and hadith to the script or kill me during the production. I don't mind dying for Islam but i'd like the message to get around before i die.Thank you for the support brothers and sisters.
Peace.

Your above comment still does not address the reason for the copyright. Protect the "other writers" from what?
...and either add sunna and hadith to the script...
This makes no sense, please clarify.

Salam.
Wakas, as a Muslim who follows just The Quran, i'm "afraid" that a sunni might add sunna and hadith to it,that's all. Now i don't have aproblem with that but i don't want my name on it then.
Don't worry, slowly, we'll get to our goal, yes?Besides, i have come with a plan B maybe i should start with a movie that has nothing to do with religion, earn some money with that movie and then with all that money and experience make this movie.
Always rely on Allah.
Peace. -
Peace Alen
Don't you have a concept for this film? I ask because if you do have a concept, won't it be a totally different film if someone switches it (the concept) by using a theme to promote Traditional stances?
You seem to assume in your plan "B" that you will make alot of money which can go into the fruition of this primary idea of yours.
