“The number twelve represents a lot of things in the movie,” explains Muhammad. “The game of dominoes begins with the number twelve or laying down of the big six. The history of dominoes is also very interesting as they were originally made from animal bones, thus the nickname for the game “bones.” So, the metaphor of bones is prevalent throughout the film as the skeletons start coming out of the closet.” The film also stars LANCE E. NICHOLS (Treme, The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, Queen of the South, NCIS: New Orleans), TIFFANY BLACK (P-Valley, Hause of Vicious) and NORMAN NIXON, JR. (Grey’s Anatomy).

As with all his films, Muhammad seeks not only to entertain but also to inform, inspire and incite conversation and critical thinking while imparting impactful life lessons to audiences. “My primary desire for audiences watching the film is that they grasp the liberating power of truth,” says Muhammad. “I aim for the message to resonate that any hidden secrets or skeletons in one’s closet will inevitably come to light, underscoring the importance of living a life grounded in honesty.” TWELVE is further proof that Muhammad’s creativity knows no bounds having written, produced, and directed a variety of features in drama, rom-com, faith, and more, all while generating a prolific collection of popular features. His filmography includes Carter High (starring Charles S. Dutton, Vivica A. Fox, Pooch Hall, Reginald C. Hayes, David Banner), First Impression (starring Lamman Rucker, Lisa Arrindell, Carl Anthony Payne II, David Mann, Tamela J. Mann and Elise Neal), Solitaire, Sweet Justice,  The Lil Voice, Gutta Mamis, and The Starter Marriage.
