Now on Hulu!! A feature documentary romantic comedy from award-winning filmmaker Ted Passon about the next frontier of marriage equality – disability. Patrice Jetter has finally found the love of her life, Garry, who is also disabled. They want nothing more than to get married, but if they do – or even if they just move in together – the government benefits they need to survive would be cut. Despite the scrutiny they’re under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future.The film interweaves vérité from Patrice’s present with stylized recreations from her past. Patrice designed the sets, guided the performances, and co-wrote the stories of the scripted scenes. Patrice portrays herself no matter her age, while all other characters are played by children. The reenactments tell Patrice’s personal story of a life lived navigating a world that was not built with her in mind.Cast: Patrice Jetter, Garry Wickham, Elizabeth Dicker Director: TED PASSONhttps://www.instagram.com/patricethemovie/CREDITSStephen Bluhm Sound Engineer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otter Castro Editor Rich WexlerProducer/Interviewer ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/vintage-annals-archive---the-deep-dive-podcast.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
