SHELTER, I mean it's about time we get a non depressing jiforway movie. An instant classic.

Synopsis:
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.

Jake lewder said: "I must say that I am a straight male and I loved this movie! Trevor and Brad were amazing in the movie and although this is in the gay genre, it is just a touching film about love, whether its between two men, two women or a man and a woman. I saw this with my girlfriend and gay best friend and we all loved it. It gives the audience hope and truly showcases how amazing love is and can be. I recommend this movie to anyone and hope that it gets a wider release or recognition at the indepedent spirit awards next year".
Takeshiwarrior said: "This is one of the best movie ever!! I love it so much. It brings a lot of hope to life. I dont know if in real life things can end up this good, but at least i have something to hope for. being gay is so tough and lonely, seeing this movie makes me cry and laugh all the way through. the romantic moments were so touching and cute. I love it very much".
