Uniquely funny, yet totally believable and emotional in its own way, Pass the Salt (2026) may have you cringing, laughing out loud, and tearing up from start to finish.

Pass the Salt (co-written and directed by Panta Mosleh), is available as a feature film (on Hollywood Suite) or as a series on (OUTtv), in which Mosleh plays Parmiss, a Muslim-Iranian daughter who is desperate to break free from her overbearing family, including a mother who is intent on marrying her off to an eligible bachelor. Parmiss' newfound independence in Vancouver allows her to be her queer self and go to a lesbian bar for the first time. She also finds herself living with "queer friendly" roommates and in less than desirable living quarters. One particular roommate, a young Jewish woman called Nava (played by Juliana de Medeiros) gives Parmiss many a gay-panic moment. Will Parmiss finally be able to come out to her family and go on a date of her own choosing? You'll have to watch Pass the Salt to find out!
