"Shelter" centers on a young man, Zach, in San Pedro, Calif., who 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 Jeanne has 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, 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.

REVIEW QUOTES:
"If you’ve been hearing buzz about the film "Shelter" and are trying to figure out what to make of it, trust me on this -- believe the hype. "Shelter" has legitimately earned the buzz surrounding it -- it’s arguably one of the best gay films to come around in years."
Mark Doherty, Gay.com
"With strong performances and Joseph White’s burnished cinematography, coming out has rarely looked so pretty"
Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
"This is a graceful film that explores the challenges of sorting out priorities and family responsibilities"
Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
"Go out of your way to see this film at any opportunity."
Lincoln Madison, Queer Screen
"This is a film about love, learning to be true to yourself and those willing to ride the wave with you."
San Francisco Chronicle
"A sweet, sexy sun soaked valentine to true love and family values"
The Advocate
"Beautiful and emotionally gripping."
SF Gate
"I promise you that "Shelter" will be one of the best films you see at Outfest 2007."
- Greg Hernandez, Out in Hollywood

- Outfest Official Website
"With a pitch perfect soundtrack and plenty of guys in wetsuits riding waves under gorgeous sunsets, SHELTER is a sensory treat."
- Frameline Official Website
"Every few years, a film comes along that has me saying, "Hell yeah! THIS is why I come to the festival!" Shelter ranks up there on my list of all-time Frameline favorites. Go out of your way to see this film at any opportunity."
