Crazy that this was almost the poster for @prayerinspace. Glad we changed it before that other movie came out 😮‍💨 #projecthailmary #rocky #ryangosling #scifi #eid

In 2019, I shelved my Muslim astronaut script because it felt too ambitious as an indie short. This week I presented it as a case study at @sxsw.

Independent and ambitious, BIPOC and ambitious, these are not opposing ideas. If you have a script in a drawer, maybe it’s more possible than you think.

@prayerinspace is set in the future, so why not imagine a future where P@lestine is free and has a space program? What would have to go RIGHT today to make that future happen? This is just one shot in the film but it’s my favorite bit of world-building thanks to Art Director @notnotmaureen 🙏

I want to tell our stories on the biggest canvas possible. “Muslim filmmaker” and “ambitious” should not be separate concepts 👨🏽‍🚀🕋 #indiefilm #ramadan #scifi
