Peele, whowon an Oscar for best original screenplay for “Get Out,” will EP through his company Monkeypaw Productions. Ahmed, who has previouslywon an Oscar for best live action short for his film “The Long Goodbye” as well as garnering an Oscar nom for his turn in “Sound of Metal,” will EP through his company Left Handed Films.

“Moshari,” which has won a number of accolades including the SXSW Jury Award and awards from Fantasia, HollyShorts and Melbourne festivals, is the first Bangladeshi film ever to qualify for an Oscar.

Self-taught filmmaker Humayun (“Sincerely Yours”) wrote, directed, produced and edited the film.

Peele and Ahmed are joined as EPs on the project by Monkeypaw president Win Rosenfeld and SVP of development and production Dana Gills as well as Left Handed Films SVP and head of television Allie Moore.

“’Moshari’ is a unique horror short in that it’s profoundly visual and emotionally striking from the first frame,” said Rosenfeld and Gills. “Nuhash drew us into his dynamic post-apocalyptic world and never let go. It’s a film about survival, love and family, but it’s also a terrifying and novel take on what a monster movie can be. Monkeypaw is so grateful to be part of the team.”
