Product Description:
Forced to give up his dreams of art school, Zach spends his days working a dead end job and helping his needy sister care for her son. In his free time he surfs, draws and hangs out with his best friend, Gabe, who lives on the wealthy side of town. When Gabe's older brother, Shaun, returns home, he is drawn to Zach's selflessness and talent. Zach falls in love with Shaun while struggling to reconcile his own desires with the needs of his family.
Amazon.com:
The feature-film debut from art director Jonah Markowitz (Quinceañera) pivots on the tension between responsibility to family and responsibility to self. Recent high-school graduate Zach (Trevor Wright) has one summer to reconcile the competing halves of his life. The aspiring Picasso lives in blue-collar San Pedro with his irresponsible sister, Jeanne (Tina Holmes, Half Nelson), her five-year-old son, Cody (Jackson Wurth), and their rarely-seen father. Zach gave up his art school dreams to toil in a diner and help look after his much-loved nephew. With his best friend, Gabe (Ross Thomas), away at college, Zach draws, surfs, and skateboards by his lonesome. When Gabe's novelist brother, Shaun (Brad Rowe, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss), returns to his Orange County home to recover from a broken heart, he and Zach alternate between riding the waves and encouraging each other to pursue their aspirations. Shaun is gay, while Zach appears to be straight, but a casual kiss between the two soon leads to a secret relationship. Before the former returns to Los Angeles, the latter has to decide who he is--gay, straight, artist, cook, uncle, or father--and what he's going to do about it. Except for the location shooting, this low-budget indie plays like an extended episode of The O.C. what with all the 'bro's and 'dude's and love scenes tame enough for network TV. Nonetheless, Markowitz’s heart is in the right place, and Shelter may provide some real-life Zachs with the courage they need to follow their passions. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - why is this not in wide release
discovering yourself, coming out, a sweet love story and the variability of "family" -- truly well acted, a first rate production that could find a wider audience.
Rating: - gorgeous
so much love in this movie. You can feel it and find it. I loved it.
Rating: - Very Good Movie
This was a easy to watch, find yourself in it kind of movie, the actors were great to look at and the story was filled with are you loyal to your family at all cost, or are you true to yourself.I did like the end, this is one I will watch over and over again.
Rating:  - It's a good movie...cheesy...but good.
This is kind of one of those predictable, cornball romantic movies where, as soon as you get into the plot, you can predict each following step of certain characters...granted, there isn't anything wrong with that sometimes, even here, it was still a lovely film that served it's purpose and I would recommend at least getting a used copy of and sitting down with a new boyfriend and watching it.
Rating: - amazing
This movie is amazing. Very well acted. Very romantic. A wonderful story of friendship and love. The actors had chemistry, I watched this move 6 times already. The best gay love story since brokeback mountain.
