Gay Marriage Trial Coming to YouTube as a Reenactment

In its January 13, 2010 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the public broadcasting of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a U.S. District Court case challenging the constitutional validity of California Proposition 8.

Working from partial transcripts and first-hand accounts from bloggers who are present at the trial, production company JIP will re-create the trial proceedings and post them at marriagetrial.com, for public viewing and on YouTube.

California film maker John Ireland put together a cast of 25 volunteer actors through a casting call on the SAG-approved casting network, then used partial transcripts from the trial and blogs reports to put together a script.

Expected debut: Wednesday, January 20, 2010
