TREVOR
1994 Rated NR17 mins
Knowing for certain that he's gay doesn't make it any easier for Trevor (Brett Barsky) to accept it. So when his classmates find out that he has a crush on another boy, it pushes Trevor to the end of his rope in this Academy Award-winning live-action short. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres introduces this pensive film from director Peggy Rajski and writer James Lecesne, which examines the harsh realties of teen sexuality.
Movie #1077 "Trevor" won an academy award for live action in 1994, and it is well deserved --- good subject, good themes, great music and nice story. I watched it because it was a film I was not acquainted with that I saw in the stageful for a play written by the same writer/director here, so we rented it and watched it. Same subject matter, a gay boy being bullied by supposed friends, is here, but just expanded in the play that we saw. Anyway, the kid here in the film is very talented, in love with Diana Ross, and very funny . He plays a kid almost everyone can identify with, so this is a movie that kids could and should see (esp. middle grade and h.s.) Well done, and a film that can be watched in classes and bigger groups, and that makes it a service to the community.
