The Masked Hitman is a 4 part short film that will be aired this coming Ramadan. The film by Khaleel Hayat is based around a hitman that was kidnapped as a child and had his parents killed by a gang that kidnaps children to use in drug trafficking. After escaping their clutches, the hitman is coming back for revenge. Not your regular run-of-the-mill Ramadan series that’s for sure.
Originally the film was going to be shot in Canada but due to the film containing weapons and Canadas strict rules, the film is now being shot in Kuwait. The Masked Hitman will be uploaded onto YouTube in 4 parts with one episode per week during Ramadan. Once the first episode is out I’ll be posting it here on the blog so stay tuned. [YouTube]

Im an aspiring film maker, and it’s so interesting to see how he is gonna do this, I’d love some behind the scenes as well, for example how open are the authorities to shooting on the side of the highway for example?
Either way, I hope he does well! (y)

ends up using a tripod lool.
thats because he shot the teaser in canada
Surely a movie director can think of something more original than that.
This is odd. I know several film people in California. None of them are aware of any “Canadian strict rules” regarding shooting (no pun intended) in Canada. A Google search has over 64,000 hits on companies that provide “weapons” for films. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but the initial post just didn’t smell right.
so lame.
And you’ve done something better?
I would like to thank 248am and especially Mark for sharing this. Mark, regardless the negative comments;p I “promise” you will be amazed 🙂
Best regards,
Khaleel Hayat
