“MPAC’s Hollywood Bureau wants to provide Muslim screenwriters as many opportunities as possible,” she said. 'Sue Obeidi, Director of MPAC’s Hollywood Bureau, said the partnership with Open Screenplay and Muslim Kids TV came from wanting to help as many Muslim writers as possible. “So, Open Screenplay affords the opportunity to cast a wide net to writers from all over the world to compete and pitch their story ideas and screenplays, with the winner receiving a cash award, having their screenplay produced, and potentially being hired to write more episodes.”

“Writing for this series requires a writer familiar with or who can research Muslim Scholars, the ability to write for children’s animated programming, and cultural sensitivity to Islamic values: skills that are not readily available in a traditional Hollywood agency model,” he said. The Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Open Screenplay, Sami Alsabawi, said this competition allows writers worldwide to “pitch their story ideas” and to potentially be hired on for more episodes. Open Screenplay, in partnership with MPAC’s Hollywood Bureau, is holding a screenwriting contest for talented screenwriters to write a pilot episode for Muslim Kids TV’s new animated children’s show, “Time Hoppers: The Silk Road.” The competition is open to screenwriters around the world and writing the 12-minute pilot episode could lead to further writing assignments for the kids series.
