As proud members of the LGBTQ+ community, directing duo Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams have created work that shines a spotlight on misunderstandings—queer and otherwise. Their first feature-length documentary Someone Like Me (NFB), follows a group of queer volunteers as they resettle a young gay asylum seeker in Canada. They have directed and produced many projects, including the award-winning short The Day Don Died (Hot Docs 2019) and Brunch Queen (Inside Out 2018).
