The Pulse of Entertainment: Filmmaker Arthur Muhammad's Twelve Premiers on Fandango/Vudu by Dr. Eunice
Moseley  (April 16, 2024) - "The dirt will come out in the wash," said Arthur
Muhammad, a film writer and director, about the storyline his new film Twelve is about. "Skeletons." Filmmaker
Arthur Muhammad was inspired to write Twelve from his own life, finding out that he had a brother. The film Twelve, airing
on Fandango at Home (Vudu), is a horror/comedy that stars Ted Lange (The Love Boat) as the family patriarch who passes away,
Lance E. Nichols (NCIS: New Orleans), Tiffany Black (P-Valley), and Norman Nixon, Jr. (Grey's Anatomy). "Me and my dad played
dominoes a lot, that's the reason for the concept," Arthur said about the inspiration for the film. "In doing research
on dominoes I learned they were originally made with bones, which connected (skeletons in the closet)." The veteran
filmmakers said 12 starts the game of dominoes, and that there are 12 zodiac signs, 12 months in a year, 12 days of Christmas,
and 12 notes in a music scale. In the film as the family gathers because of "Pops" death, they start playing dominoes
as they talk about his life. They become trapped in the house and the only way to get out is to find the family secrets. The
number 12 shows up throughout the film. "I've done 16 feature films. My films
are on Tubi, Amazon Prime, BET and Netflix. My first film release was on VHS," he told me when talking about how long
he has been making films.. Muhammad is looking to get his films on Hulu, Starz,
and HBO. His film credits include Carter High (Charles Dutton), First Impression (Lisa Arrindell, Lamman Rucker), Recession
Proof (Clifton Powell), Step Dad (Porsha Hall), The Elite Society: The Tokens (Miguel Nunez, Jr.), The Lil Voice (Fabian),
Bid for Love (Blac Chyna, Eva Marcille), Gutta Mamis (Porsha Hall), No Better Love, and The Starter Marriage. As an actor
Arthur appears in A Heart That Forgives (Charles Whitfield), and Quintessential.
