Everything doesn’t always work out, and weddings are sometimes the worst day of people’s lives. So let’s make an honest wedding movie for a change — let’s make it a horror movie.”

Eli Craig was an Outward Bound instructor and is married to Sasha Williams, the former Yellow Power Ranger.

5. Sam Greisman is an Aspiring Filmmaker

At the age of 19, Greisman came out and used his own experiences as inspiration for his film Dinner with Jeffrey. His family was very supportive of him. He told Vanity Fair about his mom: “Being gay was just one more thing she loved about me. She couldn’t be more supportive of me; if anything, I wish she was a little less supportive of me.”
