Sneak Peek: Vermont

Two years ago today, Pat & Stephen kicked off their cross-country "wedding tour" with nuptials in Vermont. They couldn't have imagined that by now, New York, Washington, Maryland, and Maine would join the marriage equality map. Here's a clip to celebrate their anniversary.

Sneak Peek: California

In honor of our upcoming CA screenings, here's a brief clip from the movie.

Married and Counting Wins Two Awards in Rhode Island

Pat Dwyer and Stephen Mosher at RIIFF

On Saturday, Married and Counting premiered at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. In the post-screening Q&A, eight-time groom Pat Dwyer said he had two hopes for the movie: that it could help people on the fence on same-sex marriage see that "our love is like your love, and we come in peace," and that it could send a positive message to young people.

The film seems to have reached both goals for Rhode Island jurors. Married and Counting won the Ambassador Award for promoting "communication, education, and cultural understanding," and the Youth Jury Award for Best Feature.

We are honored by the awards, and by being included in such a wonderful festival.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to Stephen and Pat, whose most recent wedding was one year ago today. After 25 years together, the grooms have been traveling the country to get married in every state that will let them.

Tonight is also the opening night of the Rhode Island International Film Festival, where Married and Counting will have its world premiere on Saturday, preceded by the British short film, Rufus Stone.

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New documentary, Married And Counting, follows two men who get married in every state they can

Premieres at the FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival on August 11, 4pm, at The VETS, 1 Ave of the Arts in Providence.

After almost 25 years together, Pat Dwyer and Stephen Mosher loaded up a van with a dozen of their closest friends and took to the road for a destination wedding…several destinations, and several weddings. They were embarking on a "slightly zany, low-budget, cross-country adventure" (The New York Times) to get married in every state that would let them.

Their journey is documented in the film Married and Counting, narrated by George Takei (Star Trek) and directed by Allan Piper (Starving Artists). While the film deals with one of the most hotly debated political issues of the day, and images from it have been included in a recent Obama campaign video, it is not a political film so much as the love story of two men on a remarkable adventure.

The festival is offering discounted admission for couples, “regardless of marital status.” Piper and the grooms will be present for Q&A.

Next stop, Rhode Island

Pat Dwyer, Stephen Mosher, and director, Allan Piper will be present for Q&A when “Married and Counting” makes its world premiere at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, Aug. 11, 4pm, 1 Ave of the Arts in Providence. The festival will be offering discounted admission to all couples, "regardless of marital status."

World Premiere!

We are delighted to announce that Married and Counting will have its world premiere on Saturday, August 4th at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. The Ocean State has been wrestling with marriage equality for a number of years. We hope this film can contribute to the ongoing public debate. Check out our entry in the festival program.
