I began writing WAR ON TERROR (working title) feature screenplay on March 10th 2006 whilst working at Australias largest global investment bank, Macquarie Bank. It was two days after my daughter Leyla Iman was born, and four days after finishing my short film THE BEACH. I completed writing the end credit Theme song BUTTERFLY on March 26th 2006 at 3:10 am at my unit in Wiley Park; the lyrics were written for my daughter Leyla who was 18 days old at the time. Elated to announce that this morning I wrote the final scene of the kitchen sink draft of the WAR ON TERROR feature screenplay. Alhamdoolilah (all praise is due to Allah). The completed draft clocked in at 217 pages. It took me 7 years and 5 months, during which I had two divorces. I am now focusing on a stylistic polish until September 11th when I will officially register this draft with the Australian Writers Guild. That date chosen for obvious reasons. There are five more outlined drafts to complete over the next 12 months before presentation (pitch for a greenlight) on September 11th 2015. Insha Allah (God willing). Again the date has been strategically chosen. Here are some resonant images of scenes featured in the screenplay. RIDWAN HASSIM CREATING MAGIC.
