Indianapolis-- Norman Korpi, of MTV Real World, New York fame, and Clint Cowen, filmmaker, brought their film, The Wedding Video, to Indianapolis back in September of 2001. Now that the film has been bought for distribution from Warner Brothers and TLA Distribution, they're bringing it back for one last time.
The first Indiana premiere attracted nearly 300 people only a few days after the September 11th tragedy. The Wedding Video was also the very first film ever shown at the Indianapolis LGBT Film Festival.
In The Wedding Video, all hell breaks loose when guests converge at Norman's wedding in Beverly Hills under the watchful eye of a videographer. You'll have a hard time deciphering between the truths, the lies, the fantasy and the reality in this hilarious wedding gone-wrong.
The film reunites 10 former cast members from MTV's The Real World for this unauthorized, laugh-out-loud spoof of the genre they unwittingly pioneered. The Wedding Video is the first feature length film to come directly to you from the cast.
The special screening will be held Thursday, May 22nd at Talbott Street (2145 North Talbott Street), Indy's newest and poshest nightspot. Doors open at 8:00 p.m. and film starts at 8:30 p.m. Cover charge is $10 and will be donated to the Film Festival and the Indiana Youth Group. Immediately following the film, attendees can participate in the zany and fast-paced "The Fastest Gay Wedding in History."
In additional, Norman will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have about his groundbreaking film. Talbott Street is providing a cash bar the entire night and a "wedding reception" following with a live deejay.
This event is among nearly 25 other screenings in the U.S. that same night. A panel of judges will critique the event based on creativity, panache and style. The winner will receive live musical performances by Real World alumni Heather B., and Deejay Lars at an upcoming event.
