I had the pleasure of speaking with star Rafael Albarran, EP and transgender consultant Kerry Michelle, and co-directors Andre Phillips & Charles Vuolo of the upcoming HBO Max movie Lupe.

We talked about the inspiration behind the movie, I talked to Rafael about what it was like playing in this role, and I spoke to Kerry about LGBTQ representation.

Lupe comes Friday, February 26 (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO Latino and available to stream on HBO Max.
