Gay marriage is slowly gaining ground in the US, although there’s a long way to go until all States recognise same sex marriages. Now photographer and filmmaker D’Arcy Benincosa is hoping to make the first feature-length documentary about to story of equal marriage in America and has launched a Kickstarter with the hope of raising $50,000 to get it done.
She says of the film, Where All The Stories are LOVE Stories, “In years to come, the couples, the judges, all the people involved in this change will be our heroes. A documentary film based on the unfolding events of 2014 will connect us to these heroes and to our shared humanity…
“The trend in our culture has been to portray our LGBT neighbors as misfits, always on the outskirts of normal society, often so eccentric that we are unable to relate. Rarely do you see a movie featuring gay couples sharing a simple kiss, holding hands, or looking at each other with expressions of everyday love– these simple actions are the foundation of everyone’s love story. They make art art and love love– your love and my love. I want to make a documentary film about these everyday, extraordinary stories that make us all the same.”
You can find out more about the documentary on the Kickstarter page, where you can of course help out if you’d like to.
