Our next Reel Pride Night OUT!

December 26, 2008

Keep your holiday going with an amazing DOUBLE FEATURE from Reel Pride.

At 5pm, the Tower Theatre will be bustling with Tru Loved, a glorious film about young and old, coming of age and learning as they go. With a stellar cast including Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek's 'Uhura'), Jasmine Guy, Alexandra Paul, Alec Mapa, Jane Lynch, Bruce Vilanch, and many more, Tru is a young mature girl in High School out to establish the first GSA group in her school.

Played with grace and style by award-winning newcomer Najarra Townsend, Tru encounters racism, bigotry and sexism, but also great support and comfort, even when her best friend Lodell struggles with being both black and (likely) gay.

The best part about this film? It's our gift to you! Tru Loved will be shown for DONATIONS ONLY, with all students getting in for free! Keep the Holiday spirit going and enjoy this funny and heartwarming film from our friends at here! tv.

FOLLOWED BY: Were the World Mine , 8pm, $10

This is THE film on the circuit right now, the long-awaited feature length version of the short musical 'Fairies' shown several years ago.

Based on A Midsummer's Night Dream, Were the World Mine follows a shy high-school hottie as he realizes his hidden dream of living the life of Puck, with all the glitter and fairy dust necessary. Pursuing his high school crush has become easier when a few drops from a flower of love has the ability to make anyone fall for the first person they see...which can also lead to unusual consequences for the tough-as-nails Rugby coach!

Were the World Mine has closed or opened every LGBT festival it's played at, and has won nearly as many awards as festivals. An amazing crowd-pleaser, what is there not to like? Hot boys singing, fawning over each other (yes, the Rugby team is the dancing chorus), high school love, and lots and lots of glitter. Were the World Mine is THE film of 2008, and we're glad to close out the year with this lush and beautiful musical treat.
