Award-winning Writer/Director/Producer Del Shores (Southern Baptist Sissies, “Queer As Folk”, Blues For Willadean) has announced that his next feature film project will be A Very Sordid Wedding, a sequel to his 2001 gay cult classic film Sordid Lives. Bonnie Bedelia (“Parenthood”), Leslie Jordan (“Will & Grace”, “American Horror Story: Coven”) and Caroline Rhea (“Sabrina The Teenage Witch”) are attached to reprise their roles.  Shores’ Beard Collins Shores Productions has launched an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to assemble the project and secure investor financing.

The campaign is now live at:  http://igg.me/at/averysordidwedding

A Very Sordid Wedding will star many of the original actors from the Sordid Lives film and television series.  Returning alongside Bedelia, Jordan and Rhea are Newell Alexander (August: Osage County), David Steen (Django Unchained), Sarah Hunley, Rosemary Alexander, Ann Walker, David Cowgill and Kirk Geiger.

A Very Sordid Wedding picks up sixteen years after the events of the first film.  As the original film explored the journey of coming out in a small, conservative Texas town, the sequel dives into the impact of the advancement of same-sex marriage into that same community of now beloved characters.

Shores has said, “Through the years, I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who have shared how much they relate to my Sordid Lives family, and how many gay men and women used it to come out to their conservative families through the humor of the film.  I never felt, like much of the Sordid Lives fan base, that I was done with the denizens of Winters, Texas.  I’m excited for this next chapter exploring the advancement of equality to finish the story of these characters that so many people have grown to love.  The fans have begged and pleaded for it, and we are co-dependent people pleasers. So here we go.”
