As the gay marriage debate rages on, this new film by Drew Emery goes beyond the rhetoric and straight to the heart. Whether loving inside or outside of marriage, struggling to get in or suing to get out, we follow the lives of ordinary folks as they figure out their own path to happily ever after — with more than a few surprises along the way.

Neatly side-stepping the red/blue divide, the film starts with a simple premise: whether you’re gay or straight, everyone has a relationship with marriage. When the film begins, you don’t know who’s gay or straight, and who’s with whom. But by cleverly weaving the various threads into a collective narrative, by the end of the film, you’ve got it all figured out, but you no longer care who’s gay or isn’t, and you’re rooting for everyone.

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.

Here’s what the critics are saying…

“Captures the heart of love…” John Hartl, The Seattle Times

“Lovingly rendered… a timely examination of the nature of marriage, whether straight or gay.” Ken Eisner, Variety

“Excellent. Intelligently done… it’s impossible not be completely absorbed.” Herb Krohn, SGN

“An excellent documentary about people who personify everything that is right about the phrase "I do." NewsOK, Oklahoma City

“A timely, often affecting documentary [that] investigates with subtlety and insight… a heartfelt and surprisingly tender story…” Jason Gargano, Cincinnati City Beat

“An effective treatise on love… honest and heartfelt. What will strike you the most about what all of them have to say about love is telling: If you didn’t know which interviewees were straight and which were gay, you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart, so uniform were their feelings on the nature of love, companionship and marriage.” Michael C. Moore, Kitsap Sun

People who have seen this movie say that everyone needs to see it—not just the GLBT community. The GLBT community knows movie because they live it. For this project to change the hearts and minds of Hoosiers, we need our family, friends, neighbors, bosses, co-workers, the people we interact with everyday to see this important film.

Stop and think for a moment of those you know who may be ready to be influenced regarding what they think of GLBT relationships and then get them to come to this event with you. Your invitation may change their lives.
