Shelter (2008)

Winner of numerous awards including Best Feature, Best Actor, and Best New Director in over 10 Film Festivals, Shelter is the accomplished, romantic debut from talented writer/director Jonah Markowitz, marking the first project to be developed and produced by here! Films’ Independent Film Initiative (see more posts about here!). Shelter centers on Zach (Trevor Wright), a southern California surfer who gives up his dreams of art school, and neglects his own needs, to help take care of his older sister, Jeanne (Tina Holmes) and his nephew, Cody (Jackson Wurth). When his best friend’s older brother, Shaun (Brad Rowe, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss), returns home, Shaun and Zach develop a friendship that turns into a true, intimate relationship. Shaun presses Zach to take control of his life.
