In our third episode of WIDER LENS, we sit down with the creators of Sort Of, a groundbreaking new series from CBC & HBO Max.

Together with our host, Director Annie Bradley, series co-creators Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo discuss how their own stories of transition led to their unique creative partnership. Listen in as we explore how Bilal and Fab’s openness and vulnerability led to collaborative magic, inclusivity in front of and behind the lens, and why they say now is the perfect time for diverse creators to tell their stories.
