About TRU LOVED
Tru is the new girl in a conservative suburban California high school. If she seems a little aloof and way too grown-up, ask her more about her name and you’ll find out why. Tru – as in Gertrude, as in Gertrude Stein – is so named by her two overprotective Moms. But contrary to school rumor, Tru’s not a lesbian herself. In fact, she’s falling for the quarterback, Lo. The only catch is . . . well, let’s just say Lo takes Tru to a musical on their first date, and he doesn’t even try for a goodnight kiss. See, Lo’s on the “down low” … and this is just the beginning of Tru’s romantic woes. Refreshingly honest and uncommonly wise about the claustrophobia of the closet and the burdens of the beard, this romantic comedy abounds with wry humor, gentle warmth and has universal appeal.
The supporting cast cast includes comic legend Bruce Vilanch, stand-up comic Alex Mapa, Jasmine Guy (A Different World), Jane Lynch (Best In Show, The L Word) Marcia Wallace (The Bob Newhart Show) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from the original Star Trek!).

About PRETTY UGLY PEOPLE
A dying woman’s wish brings six estranged friends together in the Montana wilderness. Lucy (Missi Pyle) has battled obesity her entire life and with the “little time she has left”, she wants to spend a final weekend together with her old college friends. Upon arriving, the invitees soon discover the reality of the situation isn’t what they had expected. On the flipside, Lucy soon realizes her friends are now a far cry from whom she had remembered and that her final wish wasn’t the best of ideas after all. Stripped of modern conveniences and no place to hide on an arduous four-day hike, the winding uphill trail brings to surface everyone’s inner demons and fears, with each member of the group taking something away from the adventure that they could never have imagined.

About THE LIFE OF REILLY
This fascinating film is a touching tribute to iconic gay television star Charles Nelson Reilly and his touring stage monologue, Save it For the Stage.
Drawing from his 70-plus years of life and his more than than 40 years in show business (which included everything from Tony Award-winning performances to his famous appearances on The Match Game and Hollywood Squares), Reilly evokes moments of madness and melodrama alongside comical takes on movies, television, theater and game show roles. Aided by an intimate understanding of their subject (not to mention Reilly’s own self-awareness and keen grasp of his public image), the filmmakers brilliantly reinforce Reilly’s self-referential jabs and pop-cultural allusions with archival footage and sound effects. The Life of Reilly presents a fond portrait that’s bound to dazzle his joyfully adoring fans and welcome unacquainted newcomers to this larger-than-life star.
