Shelter
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.
“With an outstanding script expertly brought to life through stellar performances and striking cinematography, Shelter is a gorgeous, captivating film that is, at its heart, a story about family."

Obligado a abandonar sus sueños en la escuela de arte para cuidar de su familia, Zach (Trevor Wright) se ha acostumbrado a una vida donde descuida sus propias necesidades por cuidar a su hermana mayor, Jeanne (Tina Holmes) y a su sobrino Cody. Cuando Shaun (Brad Rowe), el hermano mayor de su mejor amigo regresa a su casa para desestresarse, Shaun y Zach desarrollan una amistad que llega más allá, a una verdadera e íntima relación.
Shaun presiona a Zach para que tome el control de su vida y se apropie de sus sueños. Desarrolla también un fuerte lazo con Cody, y a Zach le agrada ver el efecto positivo que tiene la atención de Shaun sobre su sobrino.
Sin embargo, a medida que el tiempo avanza, una serie de nuevas cuestiones surgen. Zach entra en conflicto con su identidad, su familia y amigos, mientras trata de entender las nuevas emociones que Shaun ha traído a su vida.
Cuando finalmente se sabe todo, Jeanne amenaza con llevarse a Cody lejos. No queriendo nada sino lo mejor para él, Zach se ve obligado a decidir entre su patrón de poner siempre primero los deseos de los demás o luchar por lo que es realmente más importante y apropiado para su propio futuro y el de Cody.
"Con un extraordinario guión hábilmente traído a la vida a través de actuaciones estelares y sorprendente cinematografía, Shelter es una hermosa y cautivadora película que es, en su corazón, una historia sobre la familia."
