"Shelter" out on DVD today!

If you missed it in theaters and haven't seen in on here! TV, now is your chance to rent or buy "Shelter," one of the best LGBT movies of this year or any year.

I've seen it about a dozen times since I was given a screener of it last summer and it gets better with each viewing and my admiration for the work of stars Trevor Wright and Brad Rowe and director-writer Jonah Markowitz.

While this has been labeled as "a gay surfing flick," surfing is really just a sexy backdrop for the story of Zach (Wright), a young man working a dead-end job and helping his needy sister care for her young son. When Zach becomes involved with the older brother of his best friend (Rowe), the relationship calls into question all of his assumptions about family, self-identity and the future.

I've written tons about this movie and here are a few links to previous entries:
