Hot button issues such as gay marriage and illegal immigration are the focus of I Do, a very timely comedy/drama about an expatriate Brit entering into a sham marriage to stay in the U.S. to care for his family while falling in love with another man. Starring Jamie-Lynn Sigler, David W. Ross, Alicia Witt and Maurice Compte, the Gravitas Ventures release opens in New York, Los Angeles and a host of other markets on May 31st.

I Do is directed by Glenn Gaylord (writer/producer of "Leave it on the Floor") and produced by Stephen Israel ("Swimming with Sharks," "Boy Culture") and David W. Ross. Ross also wrote the film, which has won numerous Audience Awards at film festivals throughout the country, and the "Best of the Fest" Award at this year's Palm Springs Film Festival.

The film views marriage equality in the U.S. through the prism of immigration rights. Stepping right into the middle of the marriage equality debate, I Do is the deeply affecting story about a man forced by discrimination to make an impossible choice. Yet while both sides of the issue passionately state their cases, what's left in the balance are families and couples often split apart, especially those with bi-national makeups. Immigration, which most heterosexual couples take for granted as a given, complicates same-sex relationships, even in states where marriage is now legal.
