A Thin Pink Line - World's First International Same Sex Wedding Show

Canada paved the way in North America for same sex rights, years ahead of the U.S.A..
A THIN PINK LINE! History has a way of rewriting itself and this powerful capture of Same Sex Rights history, caught during the time period when same sex marriage was being debated on the streets and in parliament is caught during the making of the world's first ever international same sex wedding show held in Toronto, Canada. Please share with anyone you feel might want to help ensure this important film gets made. A Thin Pink Line recently won Best Documentary at The PlaYR Video Festival in York Region, Ontario, Canada.
Based on the success of the short version of A Thin Pink Line, TPE is now looking towards producing a feature length version with over 22 hours of footage to work with. If you'd like to help make this happen contact TPE!

Toronto Same Sex Wedding Show a World First

It's the 10 year anniversary of same sex marriage becoming legal in Canada nationally. During the height of the same sex marriage controversy as it made it's way through the courtrooms to be made officially legal nationally, TP Entertainment & Productions was there on several fronts....firstly in 2005 TPE produced the world's 1st ever Same Sex & Wedding Show to offer nuptials at the show to world citizens - the 1st of its kind anywhere in the world - at Canada's largest Metro Toronto Convention Centre!

Through the process of putting the show together TPE recognized the controversy involved - including some bias in the wedding industry as well as the media at the time - and thus rounded up a documentary crew to capture as much as possible. As a result TPE has 22 hours of raw documentary footage dying to get made into a feature length film.

Upon viewing The Short Thin Pink Line again, I realized the importance of that time in our history and the need to be vigilante even now as we witness time and again attempts at suppression, such as the HARPER government (Conservatives actually voted 90-4 against) has recently tried to have same sex weddings from those coming here to marry from other countries called not legal - meaning the contestant couples we 'd brought to Canada from other countries to marry at our show 10 years ago....MAY NOT BE LEGALLY BOUND!? Wow...would only add value to  our future film. And destroy some marriages! Can we be held liable for couples who got married at the show should the Feds' position prevail in the future? I hope to cover this in the feature film version of A Thin Pink Line.

Controversy certainly swirled during the making of this show which I've captured much of on videotape - from the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to protests at Queens Park, to the Village bars, to downtown Torontonians on the street, to vendors and have documented their opinions from that time onscreen. I hope you enjoy the snippets I've prepared for your viewing in this 10 minute screener.
