About Me

Currently out in limited release, as well as still on the festival circuit, "Tru Loved" is the new feature film from award-winning writer/director Stewart Wade ("Coffee Date"). The story focuses on a sixteen-year-old girl (Tru) who has been uprooted by her lesbian Moms from her comfortable gay-friendly home in San Francisco and moved to a conservative, suburban community in Southern California. Her only friend is a closeted football player – and even that friendship is jeopardized when she starts the school’s first Gay-Straight Alliance."Tru Loved," like "Coffee Date," appeals to a wide audience. We all have high school traumas we’re working out, and movies are cheaper than therapy. Reviews have mostly been very positive. The Village Voice wrote that the movie "offers a utopian vision of inclusiveness you wish the world would embrace," and Kevin Thomas of the LA Times said, "The film is engaging, timely and courageous."Kevin Thomas is right -- "Tru Loved" is timely. Gay-Straight Alliances on high school campuses are a hot topic! Just as hot is the gay wedding at the climax of the film. And maybe even hotter is our cast of football players, sexy lesbian moms who bust all the stereotypes, and a terrific, all-star cast of richly drawn characters.
