Gay surfing story "Shelter" starring Brad Rowe is wrapped!
Remember Brad Rowe? He's the very handsome actor who looks very much like Brad Pitt. Pitt has been a superstar since 1991's "Thelma and Louise" while Rowe has had to make due with steady work in television and movies. But gay men remember him well as the object of Sean Hayes' lust in "Billy's Big Hollywood Screen Kiss" which came out before Hayes went on to star in "Will & Grace" and began dodging questions about his sexuality.
Anyway, Rowe ended up being either bi or gay on the film and there was a scene in bed with he and Billy (Hayes) that i think a lot of us can relate to!
Rowe is playing gay again - hooray - in "Shelter," which centers on a young man, Zach (Trevor Knight, pictured below), in San Pedro, Calif. Zach gives up on his dream of art school in order to provide for his family, consisting of his aging father and his young nephew Cody, whose mother decided her priorities lie elsewhere.
When his best friend's brother Shaun returns to town, Zach finds in him a friend and confidante. As Zach becomes increasingly attracted to Shaun (Rowe), their casual surfing relationship turns into much more, setting off a chain of events forcing Zach to choose between continuing to put others first or fighting for what he wants for himself
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
Comments
I saw this movie last weekend at the Sacramento Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and I loved it. To me it had the same wonderful feeling that Big Eden had. Brad Rowe and Trevor Knight heat up the screen and even though it is a bit predictable you don't really care because you really get invested in the characters.
