SYNOPSIS: Trevor consists of diary excerpts narrated by their author, a buoyantly charming 13 year old who loves to lip-sync to Diana Ross records, gets excited looking at photos of men, and develops a crush on the most popular boy in school, Pinky Faraday, who befriends him.

Trevor's world comes crashing down when his true feelings for Pinky are discovered.  Mocked by classmates and branded a "fairy", Trevor is shunned by his new best friend and attempts to kill himself in a scene that is both heart-wrenching and darkly funny.  But as played by Brett Barsky, Trevor is no victim.  You can be certain that his enthusiasm and developing sense of self will see him through.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: An Oscar winner in 1994 for Best Live Action Short, this humorous and sometimes touching film takes place in 1981 and chronicles the life of a gay boy coming of age, and coming to terms with his "destiny."  Fully aware of his sexuality, Trevor's destiny isn't what he was hoping for...or is it?  Kids are sometimes cruel and in the movie what starts off light-hearted and fun, soon turns a little dark and realistic in an obvious attempt to draw the viewer in.  It's quite well done and worth looking at.  So successful was this film upon its initial release that it spawned the Trevor Helpline, a 24/7/365 suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth.

This DVD features two versions: the original Academy Award winning film, plus a version presented by Ellen Degeneres.
