A coming-of-age story, SORT OF exposes the labels we once poured ourselves into as no longer applicable… to anyone.
SORT OF follows the journey of “Sabi Mehboob” (Baig), a gender-fluid millennial who straddles various identities from the sexy bartenders at an LGBTQ bookstore/bar, to the youngest child in a large Pakistani family, to the de facto parent of a downtown hipster family. Sabi feels like they’re in transition in every aspect of their life, from gender to love to sexuality to family to career.
Created by Bilal Baig (Acha Bacha) and Fab Filippo (Save Me) and an official selection of the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, the Max Original comedy SORT OF debuts Thursday, November 18th on HBO Max with all eight episodes.
The series, produced with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, is written by Baig, Filippo, Jenn Engels, Nelu Handa and Ian Iqbal Rashid, with Filippo and Renuka Jeyapalan (Kim’s Convenience, Workin’ Moms) directing. Sienna Films’ Jennifer Kawaja and Julia Sereny are also executive producers on the series.
