BRIDEGROOM tells the emotional journey of Shane and Tom, two young men in a loving, committed relationship, with plans toward a bright future together. Those plans take a tragic turn when Tom is accidentally killed and Shane is refused from attending the funeral. This film tells the story of how people without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves ostracized from their loved ones. The events that transpired after Tom’s death open a window onto the issue of marriage equality and basic human rights.
The film was written, directed and produced by Linda Bloodworth Thomason, creator of Designing Women, and inspired by the powerful YouTube video, "It Could Happen To You," by Shane Bitney Crone
