COLAGE Announces the World Debut of Tru Loved Feb 24 08


COLAGE is pleased to announce the world premiere of the film, Tru Loved at the Sedona International Film Festival. If you are in the Sedona area, COLAGE invites you to attend the screenings.

The film will have two screenings:

You can order festival tickets and passes online here.

In Tru Loved sixteen-year-old Tru (Townsend) is uprooted by her lesbian moms (Paul and Williams), from her comfortable gay-friendly home in San Francisco and moved to a conservative, suburban community in Southern California. Her only friend is a closeted football player (Thompson) - and even that friendship is jeopardized when Tru decides to start the school's first Gay-Straight Alliance.

During the production of the film last summer, COLAGE became a community partner of Tru Loved. Shared Meredith Fenton, COLAGE Program Director, "Though estimates cite as many as 10 million youth in the United States have one or more LGBT parents, it is rare that we get to hear their stories. Tru Loved will offer a role model to millions of youth whose families are debated and attacked in our country while letting broader audiences catch a glimpse of the challenges and blessings that youth with LGBT parents experience every day."

The cast features Bruce Vilanch (Hairspray), Jane Lynch (The 40 Year Old Virgin), Jasmine Guy (A Different World), Marcia Wallace (The Simpsons), Alec Mapa (Desperate Housewives), Cand Najarra Townsend (Me And You And Everyone We Know). Notably, the film also features Morgan Early, a COLAGE Speak OUT, member in a small role. Morgan, the daughter of gay dads and lesbian mom wrote about her experiences on the set of Tru Loved in the Fall 2007 issue of Just For Us.

Stay tuned for more information about upcoming screenings and events co-sponsored by COLAGE and Tru Loved.
