The film, which has been shown at dozens of small gatherings throughout the country, should get its widest distribution with the television broadcast. In the documentary, couples talk about love, commitment, and marriage.
Its producer, Drew Emery, insisted that his documentary is not so much about gay marriage as it is about marriage. Just marriage, without any modifiers.
The KCTS summary:
What happens when you ask everyone you know--gay, straight, married and single--what they know about marriage and love? Inlaws & Outlaws begins with their answers, unclassified by their sexual orientation or marriage status, and leans in closer to learn how each of these ordinary people found their own path to happily ever after--with more than a few surprises along the way.
There's the story of two Mormon women, secretly college sweethearts until one follows the path her parents have chosen for her and marries--with her beloved serving as her bridesmaid.
There's the ex-Marine who has no idea what a happy relationship looks like until he stumbles across his future partner one night at a bar.
And there's the nice girl from Brooklyn who somehow always picks the guys who don't treat her right--until she finds and marries a fellow almost too good to be true.
Honest, irreverent and compelling, Inlaws & Outlaws takes one of our time's most divisive topics and turns it into the feel-good movie that?s as charming as it is irresistible.
