Bismillah,
The video is complete alhamdulillah. We have a draft final (just in case) as we complete some last minute finishing touches. We have worked with the ICM Board of Trustees (BOT) and got the video approved so it can be shown today, Saturday 3/28, at the ICM Fundraiser.

InshaAllah sometime this weekend we will be uploading the video to YouTube and we will post a link to it here. Stay tuned!

Bismillah,

So we are working on a short promotional video for ICM (Islamic Community of Maryland). It will mainly be used for their fundraiser but will continue to be used as a promotional tool as to why they exist, what they currently do, and what their plans are for the future. We will keep you updated as to how things are going inshaAllah. This short will be done by March 28th Bi’ithnillah (God willing).

Peace

Bismillah,
It’s that time. The voting for the LinkTV has come and we only have until January 16th. If you liked “An Average Moe” then please go to the site and vote. See other videos by muslims on there as well. InshaAllah (God willing) this will be a great door for everyone to open their eyes as to what Islam is and what it is not.

Thank you all for your support and we hope to continue our efforts here at HIPURductions.
VOTE HERE! This is the site you vote at.

Peace Be Upon You,
So, we’ve been working on a short movie to submit to a contest and the team finally got it all done. We submitted it yesterday and it is now up on the site:
http://www.linktv.org/onenation/films/view/307
It’s not amazing, but we’re actively working that issue 🙂

This is a project we wanted to work on to keep the “movie-making momentum” going and continue with the goals we’re trying to achieve.
If you are unfamiliar with these goals, i’ll mention them quickly here:
— Create alternative entertainment, to all the bad influence movies out there, that is professional and high quality.
— Make the entertainment Islamically founded and maintain I.C.E.: Islamically Clean Entertainment.
— Take 50% of Net Profits and donate it to charity so that people know they are not just supporting entertainment, they are supporting the betterment of the world. We would show how we used that money at the end of the movies we create as we progress.
— Raise awareness about our world and areas where we can influence and change, and show how to change as well as how we actually changed the world (as a company and with the people’s support) with the money we make as a company.
 
The Simple Math: If we were to work and raise 100K for charity, it would take a lot of effort, and at the end, it is nothing sustainable. If we however raise 100K to make awesome entertainment, reach out to a million people with the movie, and out of the million, 10% actually do something (not an unreasonable number) and they do something worth an average of $10, we have $10 X (10% of million = 100K) = 1 Million dollars. We take the million, give 500K to charity!! and still be left with 500K for the next film! crazy :). Not exact, but absolutely doable.

Please let us know what you think of the movie, give us constructive feedback, so we can continue to move forward with our goals, and by partnering with you to achieve them. 😀
 
Thank you for your time, and in the future for your generous charitable donations to a great cause!

So we’ve been working on our first short that will be inshaAllah (God willing) entered in the LinkTV contest. We have submitted the Final Cut to the sound designer and by the beginning of next week we should have it submitted. We will be releasing some information from behind the scenes about what equipment we used, how many people it took, and how we went about getting it done. Stay tuned.
