GROUNDBREAKING GAY MARRIAGE FILM
UNLEASHED DURING ELECTION
Nation’s Most Controversial Filmmaker Releases
Star-filled Movie as Battle for Equality Rages
NBC/Universal VOD Release on December 4
DVD Release – December 11

New York:  After a successful national theatrical release, Kenneth Del Vecchio’s AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT – the first-ever courtroom drama about the legalization of gay marriage – will be released on VOD on December 4, 2012 by NBC/Universal, with Netflix, iTunes and related releases immediately thereafter, courtesy distributor Screen Media Films.  This historic film will be available on DVD everywhere on December 11.  

Starring multiple Academy Award and Emmy winners and nominees, AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT tackles the illegality of gay marriage head-on. In this thriller, a lesbian couple are arrested and prosecuted for fraudulently marrying as a “man and woman” in order to obtain equal benefits. Several states have same-sex marriage on their ballots this November, and Kenneth Del Vecchio – a Renaissance Man filmmaker/author/former judge who has brazenly produced one star-filled controversial film after another – created AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT as an effort to change the law. The nation’s largest LGBT publication, The Advocate, said “This important film is timely, relevant, and compelling.” Leading LGBT publication Go Magazine wrote, “An Affirmative Act is a masterpiece of artistic commentary.” Echelon Magazine proclaimed the film, “A riveting courtroom drama guaranteed to inflame the passions of the masses.”  

This landmark film stars Charles Durning (2-time Academy Award, 4-time Golden Globe, 9-time Emmy winner & nominee), Blanche Baker (Emmy winner; Sixteen Candles), Costas Mandylor (Saw movies; The Pledge), Justin Deas (6-time Emmy winner), Randy Jones (Cowboy – “The Village People”), Robert Clohessy (“Boardwalk Empire”; “Oz”), Thomas G. Waites (And Justice For All; The Thing), Rachael Robbins (O.B.A.M. Nude), Jackie Martling (“The Howard Stern Show” ), and Eric Etebari (“Witchblade”; The Lincoln Lawyer).
