Compelling Narrative on Human Relationships!
NEW YORK (February 24, 2015) – The groundbreaking film “Marriage 2.0” will be screening at New York’s CineKink 2015 film festival on Saturday, February 28. The film, produced by LionReach Productions and distributed by Adam & Eve, features compelling sexual performances from adult stars demonstrating the depth of human relationships and emotions.

Of the film, author, editor, and sociologist Carol Queen said, “‘Marriage 2.0’ is the movie ‘Fifty Shades’ wants to be but can’t,” and TED speaker and NY Times best-selling author Dr. Christopher Ryan called “Marriage 2.0,” “the Holy Grail [of adult film].”

“Marriage 2.0” features performances from adult entertainment stars such as India Summer, Ryan Driller, Dylan Ryan, Nina Hartley, and Mickey Mod, along with appearances from internationally renowned sex and relationship experts such as Emily Morse and Reid Mihalko. The film follows a couple (India Summer and Ryan Driller) on their search for personal freedom, as well as emotional and sexual bliss within the context of an honest and committed modern relationship.
“Marriage 2.0” delves into the nature of commitment and relationships by weaving hardcore sex into a compelling, touching, and controversial narrative, which ultimately drives a film that challenges the portrayal of sex in cinema.
“We are very thankful to CineKink for providing us with an opportunity to show an independent film that tells the story of a unique couple heading on an unconventional journey,” said Marriage 2.0 screenwriter and producer Magnus Sullivan. “‘Marriage 2.0’ gets the moviegoer thinking with all the high production values of a major motion picture and the erotic imagery of the best the adult industry has to offer.”
In “Marriage 2.0,” India wants to live a full life—a life unfettered by the shackles of shame and tradition—but as she pushes the boundaries of her relationship with her long-time boyfriend, she finds tearing down boundaries is much easier than creating new rules to live by. Set adrift in her search for personal freedom and sexual bliss within the context of an honest and committed relationship, India’s deepest insecurities surface as she faces the vulnerability of loving unconditionally. Lost in this new cultural landscape, India turns to sage advice from sex experts, friends, and even her mother, to navigate this inviting but disorienting terrain.
Cinekink, which runs from February 24 to March 1, was established in 2003 as an effort to recognize and encourage positive depictions of sexuality and kink in film and television. The annual event features film dramas, comedies, documentaries as well as a variety of shorts and videos from filmmakers around the world.
The film will be available beginning Thursday, February 26 on AdamandEveTV.com, an Adam & Eve property powered by GameLink.com. For more information about “Marriage 2.0,” visit www.Marriage2point0movie.com.
