Forced to give up his dreams of art school in order to take care of his family, Zach (Trevor Wright) has become accustomed to a life where he neglects his own needs in favor of taking care of his older sister, Jeanne (Tina Holmes) and his nephew, Cody. When his best friend’s older brother, Shaun (Brad Rowe), returns home to cure a case of writer’s block, Shaun and Zach develop a friendship that develops into a true, intimate relationship. Shaun presses Zach to take control of his life, and to take ownership of his artwork. He also develops a strong bond with Cody, and Zach happily notices the positive effect Shaun’s attention has on him. As time progresses, however, a host of new issues come up. Zach struggles with his identity, his family, and friends, while trying to understand the new emotions Shaun has brought into his life. When the cat is let out of the bag, Jeanne threatens to take Cody away. Wanting nothing but the best for him, Zach is forced to decide between his pattern of always putting others’ desires first or fighting for what is really most important and appropriate for both his and Cody’s future. Discuss the hottest gay flick of the moment here!

Thanks for posting the clips for the film. Luckily, someone posted the NY Times review, which also included links for which theatre it's playing in NYC. I think I might just see the film tonight after work.

For Bay Area folks: Shelter
Drama, 01:28 minutes, Rated R Rating: Little Man Clapping Writer/director Jonah Markowitz makes his feature film debut with a film whose story line could have pulled the entire project into melodrama, were it not for the director’s careful balance and a terrific performance by Trevor Wright as Zach, a young man with too much on his mind to let him live his own life. Although saddled with a loser sister, Zach has one joy in life and that is taking care of her young son Cody. He’s already turned his back on art school because of family responsibilities and when love comes along in the form of his best bud’s older brother, the question is whether Zach will turn his back yet again. Very nice work all around. A feel-good charmer that’s a lot more than just a “gay movie.”

I've actually dl it. Well, it's not DVD version, it's the TV rip version I believe. I quite like it. Nothing major in the storyline, just like that laid-back feeling it gave. No need to get worked up over certain issues. You just feel like you are an observer of the whole storyline and it's like they are people you know in real life. Good one!

I actually loved it (and I wonder where I already posted it). I loved that even though it's about a coming out it's no coming out story. Every guy who's coming from a poor disfuntional family might have the same problems Zach has. And the solution is so clear for the viewer, the whole time you're sitting in front of the tellie thinking how they could all solve their problems. The nice thing is that the happy end is just the way you want it to be. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet, so I'm not gonna tell more.

Just finished watching the movie after finally finding a way to see it. Absolutely amazing!! I can't even be coherent about it. I just want to watch it over and over again, which I will probably do after I start and finish this 8 page research paper that's due tomorrow morning. But starting it at 2:15 AM was definitely worth it for this movie.

(I am in Europe, if that makes any difference. at this time, there isn't. but you can order it from amazon.com at $12.99. it will be released may 27 on region 1 dvd (make sure your dvd player can handle that). with the current exchange rate, the whole thing should cost you less than 20 EURO with shipping.

I liked it too! I really couldn't stand Zach's sister (duh!), but I guess she was needed as plot-device. It's kinda angsty, though. Not that I don't like angst
