Holding Trevor centers on the character of Trevor Holden (Brent Gorski), who has just witnessed his boyfriend Darrell (Christopher Wyllie) overdose on heroin–again. As his closest friend, Trevor feels a responsibility to help Darrell in his latest attempt at sobriety, much to the dismay of his own best friends Jake (Jay Brannon, Shortbus) and Andie (Melissa Searing). However, when Darrell starts using again Trevor is finally ready to call it quits and soon after meets the ever-so-charming Ephram. Trevor is smitten by Ephram, mostly because he is the antithesis of what Darrell was as a boyfriend. As the relationship between Trevor and Ephram quickly progresses, his friendships with Jake and Andy begin to wane. Jake, the self-proclaimed sex-addict, is starting to worry a little bit about his past catching up with him, namely in the form of HIV, and Andie, who drunkenly ends her sexual dry spell with a one-night stand, realizes that Jake might have less to worry about than she does. Meanwhile, Ephram accepts a job thousands of miles away in New York City and asks Trevor to join him. Now, what had started out as Trevor’s own personal existential journey turns into a path that will lead everyone to what is most important: themselves.

Gorski not only stars in Holding Trevor, but is also the writer and executive producer. Rosser Goodman directs.

“We are incredibly pleased to be bringing ‘Holding Trevor’ to the network. The film, showcasing the multi-talented writer/producer Brent Gorski, is a strong indicator of things to come from the next generation of filmmakers and we are excited to be able to bring this thought-provoking story to the small screen,” says Mark Reinhart, Executive Vice President of Acquisitions and Distribution for here!.
