LGBTQ Rom-Com ‘Before I Do’ to Star Cole Doman, Michael Hsu Rosen and Nico Greetham (EXCLUSIVE)

Production has wrapped on director and writer Gary Jaffe’s LGBTQ romantic comedy “Before I Do.”

The ensemble stars Cole Doman (“The Mastermind,” “Mutt”), Michael Hsu Rosen (“Glamorous,” “Sex Lives of College Girls”), Nico Greetham (“American Horror Story,” “Love, Victor”), Robin de Jesús (“Black Rabbit,” “Tick, Tick…Boom!”) and Jared Reinfeldt (“Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” “Gossip Girl”).

The film “follows a lakeside bachelor party weekend that devolves into chaos when the groom and his best man’s past romantic feelings reignite, entangling the wedding party — their college BFFs and the groom’s not-so-straight best friend — in the chaotic pre-wedding drama,” its official description reads.

Producers include Thomas Wallis of Two Canz Films and Emily McCann Lesser with Monarch Kaleidoscope (“Fantasy Life,” “Farewell Amor”) with executive producers Joe Pirro (“The Wedding Banquet,” “We Grown Now”), Henry Russell Bergstein (who also serves as casting director), Andrew Tobias, Alex Bilbao and Frank Glaser.

The film was shot on location in the Berkshires region of Massachusetts, with principal photography completed in Otis.
