Hello, My name is Bassam Alasad Director and Producer for "On the Edge" Movie
My name is Nora Bajes, I'm the screenwriter for "On the Edge" Movie
My name is Dana Dajani, Dubai-based actress and writer
I'm gonna be playing the role of "Sarah" in the movie
My name is Nabil Sawalha, I've been acting for a long time
Almost 50 years I started when I was a baby
"On the Edge" movie is my first feature film after 7 years for me in filmmaking
I've worked on short films before
I've been writing for so long
but this is the first feature film for me
This is the first script given to me by the director Bassam
that I found almost perfect from the first reading
When I write my script I have to rewrite it over 15 times all over again
this script I found the characters to be thorough, the idea is nice, the humanity
There's a sequence of events and the thoughts
A clear vision for the writer and the director who obviously worked on this idea together
What drew me to play this role is the script, honestly
It's hilarious! Nora has done a great job with it
It got some comedy elements and very emotional moments as well
It got an unorthodox love story
Sarah and Musa get attracted to each other and they believe this attraction is Love
but then they discover that they entered each other's lives to play a more important role
to heal eachother to heal each other's hearts
What I really likes about the script is that it shows the Amman that I know
The Amman I'm still discovering
"On the Edge" Movie is an independent Jordanian movie
It isn't easy at all to fund independent films around the world
it's not wasy to fund Jordanian films in specific as it's still a new industry that's growing day by day
So the decision was to go for something called "crowd-funding" to finance "On the Edge"
The idea behind crowd-funding is that people interact with the movie through financial contributions in return of incentives
You can support us through Aflamnah.com
You can enter there to know how you can better support us
Your contribution has many ways
To know more about it you can find it all written on the page
If you give this amount you get that and so on..
but I believe the best thing you get is that you feel that you have contributed to a beautiful idea
for our Jordanian youth , to develop and give
As well when you see a nice lady like Dana
who's participating in such movie without a salary
-I'm not taking a salary?!
- shhhhh
You have a responsibility to support us!
Support us! Tell your friends family and relatives to support us as well
Also i'd like you to tell everyone you know and share it on Facebook to tweet about it as well on Twitter
We're your children.
I might not be that young.. (laughing)
but please take care of us so that we take care of you!
