Add a CommentThis is a terrific American movie written and directed by new-comer Jonah Markowitz. It is a remarkably mature accompolishment and a step forward in the evolution of gay film making. This is a coming of age story set in an urban California town (San Pedro) where Zach works a dead-end job to help support his sister and her young son. He surfs and hangs out with his rich friend in Laguna whose brother comes to visit from L.A. Zach had to forgo art school and is trying to cope with that disappointment as well as the daily demands of others. What makes this movie special is that it is about two people who happen to be gay. There's a delightful twist added-in that will give Christians the willies. Plus there's a dog. The actors are excellent, especially Trevor Wright as the conflicted Zach.
Best Movie in the whole wide world. I hope when everybody who watch this will not be afarid of coming out to anyone.. I love the plot everything the two love birds and this flim are great
One more commonplace film about coming out of the closet. Action: San Francisco... and the film makes it look as a difficult thing to come out in SF!
