Shelter

Sometimes life doesn’t begin until you fall in love.

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, Zach begins to surf with him. However it is not long before their mutual attraction turns their friendship on its head and when Zach is encouraged by Shaun to start leading his own life, he must reconcile his own desires with the needs of his family.

A stunning feature debut from director Jonah Markowitz, starring Brad Rowe of Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss.
