FORT LAUDERDALE–Multimedia Platforms, Inc., the only LGBTQ publicly traded media company,  confirmed that filming of the documentary, Hiding Inside the Baseline, has begun. The documentary follows company CEO Bobby Blair’s coming out memoir of the same title. Emmy-Award winner, Harry Cicma of Harry Cicma Productions LLC,will be chronicling Blair’s journey as a closeted American tennis standout 30 years ago and how that has compared to the experiences of LGBT athletes today.

The documentary is scheduled to be aired worldwide this winter on various sports networks and to reach over 100 million households. Additionally, Hiding Inside the Baseline will be sponsored by WiRLD.com, MMP’s online destination for entertainment shows, news, travel information, shopping, and business directories and social networking in a virtual LGBT community.

“It has been the most incredible experience of my life sharing my story,” Blair admitted. “The awareness and hope my memoir and documentary can bring to the LGBT community, particularly young athletes, is most fulfilling for me. Harry Cicma and I will spend a few days at my alma mater, the University of Arkansas, before heading up to South Bend, Indiana to visit with Notre Dame tennis stand out Matt Dooley. We appreciate all your support as we head out in an effort to make a difference.”

“I have covered tennis my whole life and have a great deal of respect for Bobby’s career,” Cicma added.  “Bobby established himself as a World Class American tennis player, and his story is an inspiration to all.  He is truly a class act, and a champion, on and off the court. It is an honor to produce the documentary that tells his story, and Matt Dooley’s story, as they continue to inspire people throughout the sports community.”
