Egyptian Movie with Real Africans
Donation protected
I would like to raise funds to have a film made about the great royal family of the 18th Dynasty.
Queen Tiye (mother of Akhenaten)
Pharaoh Ahmenhotep(father of Akhenaten)
Akhenaten and Nefertiti
King Tut (Son of Akhenaten)
Black actors, black directors, black producers, black writers etc....
Without funding we cannot get any major actors, directors, screen writers, etc to commit to a film. In Hollywood it is a stereo type that a black film of this magnitude would not be successful because black people would not support it. Let us make history and show the world not only true African history but what we can do when we put our minds and money together. We spend 1.1 trillion dollars a year and we should be able to do anything we desire financially. If we can get enough shares or funding we can prove that we will support these types of films.
I am not a film maker but I do not see any black celebrities stepping up for a film like this .
We always cry and complain every time Hollywood makes a movie about Egypt without African Kings and Queens. Let’s all put in $5 and make our own movies about Egypt with real black pharaohs. $5 x 40 million people.
We could make a movie about Egypt this year, mansa musa and Mali next year, Mau Mau after that, Marcus Garvey after that, shaka Zulu after that, The Afro Set then Toussaint and the Haitian revolution after that and so on. We can’t expect anyone else to do it.
This idea is only one month old please feel free to contact me with any suggestions to help make this happen .
