Every story has a finish line. That finish line is either a desire to retrieve, stop, win or escape. However, the driver of that race to the end isn’t the plot but the emotions that drive characters in the story. Those emotions are grounded in the premise or theme that the story is built around

Assalamu alaykum brother Belal,
We found your video on youtube (Toy Story lecture)and we got amazed that you talk so positively – it is really rare to find a Muslim with such knowledge and up-to-date information about cinema and storytelling, mashallah.
Let us introduce ourselves – I am a graduated film director Amir Al-Zubi and together with my wife Meliha Al-Zubi we produce animation and also write and illustrate children story books, comics and coloring books that promote Islamic, moral and cultural values. You can see some of our work on http://bosnianimation.blogspot.com/ and http://newmuslimkids.blogspot.com/
Since you are marketer and film maker we got an idea to try to synergies our talents and so create Islamic entertainment for children on the higher level of quality (visually as well as story wise).
With the hope that you will recognize the potential in our suggestion waiting for your feedback.
Wassalam,
Amir Al-Zubi
