Trailer: ‘Breaking Fast’ is the gay Ramadan-com you’ve been waiting for

Vertical Entertainment has released the trailer, poster and date announcement for their gay romantic comedy Breaking Fast, from writer/director Mike Mosallam, starring Haaz Sleiman (The Visitor, upcoming Eternals) and Michael Cassidy (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).
Set against the twinkling lights of West Hollywood, Breaking Fast is a romantic comedy that follows Mo (Haaz Sleiman), a practicing Muslim still reeling from heartbreak. When an All American guy named Kal (Michael Cassidy) offers to join him in his nightly Iftars — the traditional meal eaten by Muslims during Ramadan– meal after meal, the two start to discover they have more in common than meets the eye.
