"Tru Loved" gets theatrical distribution...

here! Films, the theatrical distribution and worldwide sales division of here! Networks, announced Monday that it has acquired North American distribution rights to "Tru Loved," the wonderful drama focusing on LGBTQ youth and their families that closed Outfest last night.

Regent executive Mark Reinhart said the film "falls squarely into our company mission by offering us an opportunity to showcase emerging talent while providing entertainment that fosters change and creates understanding around important real-life issues facing LGBTQ youth and their families."

"Tru Loved" was written and directed by Stewart Wade and tells the story of Tru, a sixteen year old uprooted by her lesbian moms from her gay-friendly home in San Francisco and moved to a conservative community in Southern California. Tru's only friend is a closeted football player, and that friendship is jeopardized when she starts the school's first Gay-Straight Alliance.

The film is set to be released in the fall.
