@ktla_entertainment ✨ Discussing ‘Poreless’, comedy as a powerful connector, reclaiming Muslim identity through humor, and how a brand-building perspective informs audience-first storytelling. Truly honored to be part of this year’s ’Best Live Action Short’ conversation.
Thank you @_melvinrobert and the @ktla5news team for the thoughtful spotlight 🎬 #fyc
We’re honored to welcome Emmy-winning producer Ross Mathews as Executive Producer of Oscar-qualified live-action short, PORELESS — a sharp, joyful comedy that centers queer Muslim identity with heart, humor, and unapologetic visibility. Ross instantly understood the importance of this story, and we’re grateful to have his voice amplifying the film and the community it represents.

In this @moviemakermag piece, @harrisdoran pulls back the curtain on how @porelessmovie was built — a fast-moving collaboration where every department shaped the film’s style, tone, and comedic precision. From early story development with @thefawz to the visual language crafted by design, cinematography, makeup, and wardrobe, the film grew through collective problem-solving and shared instinct.
Harris also reflects on @akbar.hamid evolution — a first-time producer and actor stepping into his own, willing a film into motion with focus, heart, and unshakable momentum.
30 festivals, awards and honors later, #porelessmovie enters Oscars consideration for ‘Best Live Action Short’ as a testament to what true collaborative filmmaking can create ✨
