"Why Did You Invite Me To Your Wedding" Filmmaker: Kevin Atwater

The singer songwriter conceived & wrote this intimate film of the queer experience.

Kevin Atwater (Writer) is a singer songwriter from Downers Grove, IL a suburb of Chicago. In early 2022, after his first big opportunity on Broadway was stripped due to the pandemic, Kevin resorted to writing songs in his Upper West Side apartment as a creative outlet.

He started posting acoustic performances of his songs online and immediately began building a dedicated fanbase who gravitated towards his uniquely honest and intimate songwriting about his queer experience.



When Kevin Atwater gets a bizarre invitation out of the blue from an old friend, he’s met with tumultuous feelings of past love, heartbreak, and grief. Inspired by the true story told in Kevin’s acclaimed song of the same title (garnering over 2M+ streams and 8M+ views on social media), “why did you invite me to your wedding” explores the complicated tentativeness of queer desire, and the clash between these emotions and his cherished memories.


This film was conceived and written by Kevin Atwater, directed by Gus Black, and produced by Mutual Friends.
