Fatima Aisha’s TEMPTATIONS project lands multiple 2026 honors
U.S. Air Force veteran Fatima Aisha says her TEMPTATIONS feature and digital series picked up four 2026 recognitions, including festival selections, screenplay competition placement and a w3 Silver Award. The latest wins come as the independent project moves through development, with a short film proof of concept and a copyright filing also in motion.
Why it matters: - TEMPTATIONS is gaining outside validation across film festivals, screenplay competition and digital media at the same time. - The recognitions can help the project build momentum with producers, creative partners and potential buyers. - The project spans feature film, books, audio storytelling and digital content, which gives the franchise multiple entry points for audiences.
What happened: - Fatima Aisha, a U.S. Air Force veteran and founder of Levels & Volumes Entertainment LLC, announced multiple 2026 recognitions for TEMPTATIONS. - The TEMPTATIONS feature project was named an Official Selection at the Atlanta Women’s Film Festival 2026. - The feature project was also named an Official Nominee at the Women’s Film Festival 2026. - The feature project received another Official Nominee recognition from the Miami Women Film Festival 2026. - The feature screenplay placed as a Quarterfinalist in the 2026 Big Apple Film Festival Screenplay Competition. - TEMPTATIONS’ digital content series won a Silver Award in the 2026 w3 Awards Social Content Series, Student category.
The details: - TEMPTATIONS is described as a grounded ensemble family drama focused on Raheim, a 19-year-old trying to become the man of the house after his father’s death. - The story follows family conflict tied to Raheim’s struggle to control the people he loves, his brother’s dangerous secret, his girlfriend’s betrayal and his mother’s buried past. - Aisha said TEMPTATIONS is about choices, family and generational weight, and said she is building a universe where the characters’ stories can continue. - The TEMPTATIONS universe includes four published books: TEMPTATIONS: Raheim Part I: The Book of Raheim; TEMPTATIONS: Raheim Part II: What Denise Did; Malik’s Moves: Book 3 of the TEMPTATIONS Universe; and Before She Was Mama: A TEMPTATIONS Prequel. - The original three-book series is complemented by a separately published prequel. - Audio storytelling is available through Spotify and YouTube. - The feature screenplay’s copyright registration application was filed with the U.S. Copyright Office on October 22, 2026. - The registration is pending. - Levels & Volumes Entertainment LLC is a Texas-based independent entertainment company working across publishing, audio storytelling, digital media, film and television.
Between the lines: - The mix of festival attention and a screenplay competition result suggests TEMPTATIONS is being positioned as both a commercial feature and a broader franchise. - The book, audio and digital layers give the project more ways to build an audience before the feature reaches production. - The planned proof-of-concept short film signals a common indie-film strategy: test the concept, attract partners and reduce risk before a larger production push.
What’s next: - A planned short film, KNUCKLES, a TEMPTATIONS Story, is intended as a proof of concept for the feature. - KNUCKLES has been submitted to the Shore Scripts Fall 2026 Short Film Fund. - The short film has not entered production. - Levels & Volumes Entertainment LLC says it is open to conversations with producers, production companies and creative partners. - The feature screenplay’s copyright registration remains pending with the U.S. Copyright Office.
The bottom line: - TEMPTATIONS is moving from concept to multi-platform project, with awards recognition now adding external credibility to its next development phase.
