Update - Out at The Wedding

The dance scene from the film Out at the Wedding starring Desi Lydic and Cathy DeBuono is available at this link. We apologize for not being able to embed the video here but it is well worth the visit to see a beautiful romantic scene. Thanks to Cathy for making this link available to us all, nice moves there Cathy!

What's Your Problem?

Well we have some spectacular news to bring you. We all know that AfterEllen.com brings us entertainment in a variety of forms from television recaps and political updates to comedy vlogs and community forums. Now there is a new feature and we here at Bee Haven are 100% behind this one. The out and established actress Cathy DeBuono's got a new video blog called What's YOUR Problem? While Cathy is an actor, she also holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and has several years of experience as a therapist. And now she's here to talk about our problems, fears and darkest demons — we can ask questions of Cathy in the comment section or even keep our questions under wraps in a private message to Cathy herself. And just a side note - from personal experience (grins), Cathy responds to her messages!

I don't want to give too much about Cathy away right now as we at Bee Haven will be promoting not one but two upcoming movies in which the actress will be starring. Very soon we hope that Cathy and her co-stars will allow us to gather questions for our very own Q&A with them about the movies And Then Came Lola and Tremble & Spark. The producers and or directors on both projects have given us the go ahead and we are readying our material as this goes to post. And don't forget the recently promoted Out at the Wedding as well. Cathy has been very busy and that makes us all happy.

OK, now don't forget Cathy's vlogs air on Thursdays and this week in her very first episode, "Three Lesbians, One Camera and a Bottle of Champagne," Cathy mixes it up with filmmaker JD Disalvatore (Eating Out 2, Shelter, Gay Propaganda) and radio talk show co host and producer Doria Biddle (The Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius Satellite OUT-Q 109). It's a blast and truly informative. Cathy handles herself with grace and gives us insight into do's and don'ts on the subject of behavior in public. Tune in, you won't be sorry.

Out at The Wedding - Movie Preview

This feature film is a romantic comedy cocktail with a splash of southern comfort and a twist. The film is directed by award-winning director Lee Friedlander and written by
Paula Goldberg. Principal cast includes: Andrea Marcellus, Desi Lydic, Charlie Schlatter, Mike Farrell, Mink Stole, Reginald VelJohnson, Cathy DeBuono and Mystro Clark.

Transplanted Southerner, Alex Houston (Andrea Marcellus), has found life as a successful wine importer in Manhattan to be a pretty fabulous life. Laughs come in spades from her best gay pal since childhood, Jonathan (Charlie Schlatter) and love is found in the package of Dana (Mystro Clark), a dreamy bi-racial airline pilot. When he unexpectedly proposes to her the day she’s to leave town for her sister’s wedding, life gets complicated. Having assumed her southern family would never accept her ethnic boyfriend, she’s never told them he exists. In turn, she’s led Dana to believe her entire family is dead. Now, don’t judge her too harshly, it was sort of a mix up that turned into genocide. Making an excuse to leave town, she takes Jonathan as her date to the wedding and figures once she gets through the weekend, she’ll come clean to everyone.

Once back in South Carolina, it’s a minefield of emotion as she deals with her distant father (Mike Farrell), her overly exuberant sister Jeannie (Desi Lydic) and all the relatives and friends of her past who can’t believe she’s still single. Especially curious is Alex’s dim high school sweetheart who misunderstands a conversation with Jonathan and starts spreading a rumor at the reception that she’s gay. When an inebriated Alex gives a thinly veiled speech about her interracial relationship at the wedding, everyone mistakenly thinks it’s a big coming out speech. After unsuccessfully trying to set everyone straight so to speak, her right wing family has a decidedly left wing response and the lie actually brings them all closer.

As the two sisters build a relationship they’ve never been able to cultivate before, Alex can’t bring herself to fess up she’s straight. When Jeannie comes back from her honeymoon and wants to come to New York and meet Alex’s lesbian love “Dana,” Jonathan comes up with an idea to “hire” a girlfriend. That’s when things really start to get complicated!
Out At The Wedding is about relationships. It’s about the thin line between trust and truth and the incredible comic lengths we go to avoid both. But essentially the film is a love story between two sisters, who desperately want to be friends, but only know how to be family.
