About me: Inlaws & Outlaws cleverly weaves together the true stories of couples and singles— both gay and straight — and all into a collective narrative that is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
At the top of the film, you meet real people one on one. You don’t know who’s gay or straight or who’s with whom. As their stories unfold and stereotypes fall by the wayside, you won’t care because you’ll be rooting for everybody. With candor, good humor, great music and real heart, Inlaws & Outlaws gets past all the rhetoric to explore what we all have in common.
We love. We lose. We all want to belong. And we’re all making this up as we go along.
Who I'd like to meet: Campus groups and faith congregations interested in hosting a screening, film enthusiasts, LGBT equality organizations, anyone who believes in the power of love & equality and wants to help us spread the love and change the world!
