Tru Love 

Let's be honest.  Beginnings and endings are always the hardest- in love or in making a film.

Our film Tru Love is an evocative love story involving three women whose lives intersect and are changed forever.  It has attracted a passionate team and is now nearing production (slated for late January 2013).

We have already raised a large portion of our Micro Budget....

Buuut (there is always a but!)… Tru Love is an independently financed Canadian production with big dreams, and it cannot be understated how much we need your support to make it a reality.  For many of the cast and crew, this film has truly become a labour of love.

Please read on and watch the video above to learn more about our film and the different ways you can help us make Tru Love possible!

The Story

A widow, recovering from the death of her husband, comes to the big city to spend time with her too busy professional daughter. Instead, she forges an unlikely relationship with a commitment phobic lesbian who has a past with her daughter.
