| SHELTER DVD MOVIE | | The feature-film debut from art director Jonah Markowitz QuinceaƱera 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 |
