Over the last few weeks we’ve been covering the growing cast of Scenes From A Gay Marriage’s Matt Riddlehoover’s upcoming LGBT-themed movie, which already includes the likes of Maria Conchita Alonso, Charlie David, Jared Allman, Josey Greenwell, Jonathan D. Lovitz, and Enrique Sapene. Now two more have been added, in the form of Gay rights activist Justin Mikita and award-winning comedienne Christine O’Leary.
Mikita co-produced last year’s Los Angeles premiere of 8: The Play, which chronicled the landmark trial of California’s Prop. 8, using actual court transcripts and first-hand interviews. O’Leary, who recently performed stand-up with Joy Behar, has been nominated “One of the 50 Funniest Lesbians in America” and serves on the Board of Directors for True Colors, Inc., a GLBTQA Youth Serving Agency.
Riddlehoover’s currently untitled film is about a newly together gay couple who find their blissful life disrupted by friends and relatives. Thematically, the script aims to grind gears about civil rights, hereditary illnesses, and life itself – all while making you laugh. Production is slated to begin shooting in Spring 2013 in Los Angeles.
As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the movie is currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, so head over there if you’d like to help.
