Toronto, Canada · 20+ Years of Storytelling
Stories shape the soul of a people. From the screen to the stage, I am committed to telling the truth — and helping others do the same.
For over two decades I've stood at the intersection of film, faith, advocacy, and the spoken word. Everything I do is in service of one conviction: authentic storytelling — in any form — is an act of resistance.
Whether you need a keynote that challenges comfortable assumptions, a fundraiser that opens hearts and wallets, or an MC who commands a room — Mamoun brings the same conviction to every stage.
Mamoun speaks at conferences, fundraising galas, university events, community gatherings, and faith-based institutions across North America and beyond.
Mamoun uses every platform available — stage, screen, minbar, and media — to advocate for the marginalized, amplify erased voices, and demand justice without apology. These are not just topics he speaks about. They are commitments he lives.
A misguided young man ignores the wise counsel of a gang leader and enters the drug trade chasing a dream — only to discover that the price of fast money is measured in lives. Inspired by real events. Built for a generation that needs to see itself on screen — complex, flawed, and redeemable.




"Whether I'm speaking from a minbar or from behind a lens, my message is rooted in the same truth: stories are how we understand the world, how we resist erasure, and how we pass down our values."
— Mamoun S. Hassan
Film reaches those who wouldn't enter a masjid. Cinema crosses borders, breaks stereotypes, and plants seeds of understanding in the hearts of strangers. It is dawah without a pulpit.
The stage — whether a conference hall, a fundraising gala, or a masjid — is where I do my most urgent work. Speaking truth to power is not a career choice. It is a moral obligation.
As a khateeb and Islamic educator for over two decades, I've spoken from pulpits across North America — bringing the depth of Islamic tradition to bear on the lived realities of Muslims in the West.
I'm also a tireless advocate for the Muslim community in the public sphere — appearing on television, speaking at institutions, and using every platform to counter Islamophobia and amplify Muslim voices with dignity and strength.
Story-driven Jumu'ah addresses for masajid and Islamic centres across North America.
Tafseer series, Ramadan programming, and Islamic studies for communities and institutions.
Iftar talks, Tarawih tafseer, and Ramadan keynotes connecting the sacred month to contemporary life.
TV appearances, public commentary, and speaking engagements defending Muslim dignity and belonging.
I grew up navigating between worlds — between faith and culture, the masjid and the mainstream, the lens and the lectern. That space between is where I've always done my most honest work.
I'm a filmmaker, a speaker, and a khateeb — but more than any title, I am a storyteller in service of justice. Whether directing a feature film, addressing thousands at a fundraising gala, or speaking from a minbar, the intention is the same: to move people toward truth.
My first feature, Purple Don't Cry, proved that Muslim-made cinema can compete on any stage. My advocacy work — on Sudan, Islamophobia, anti-racism — proves that silence is not an option when you have a platform.
Whether you're booking a speaker, commissioning a film, inviting a khateeb, or collaborating on a project that serves people — this is how you reach me.
