Idol worship: Stewart Wade, writer/director/producer.- He began as a playwright, and two of his stage plays -- Opening Night and Second Chance -- were produced in Los Angeles.
- His screenplay Wish List was sold to German television; renamed Ich Wünsch Dir Liebe (I Wish to Live), it was so successful that it was subsequently released theatrically.
- Coffee Date, his first short film, screened at over 35 festivals worldwide and won several major awards, and was released on the DVD Straight Men & the Men Who Love Them.
He would later remake Coffee Date as a feature film, starring Wilson Cruz and Jonathan Bray.- Outfest named him one of their 2006 “Five in Focus” – feature film directors chosen as “the next wave of hot new talent.”
- Tru Loved, his next feature, opens next week. Set in San Francisco, the comedy/drama centers on the new kid in town (who has two lesbian mothers) starting her high school's first Gay-Straight Alliance. The film's cast is filled with many gay faves, including Jasmine Guy, Jane Lynch, Alec Mapa, Nichelle Nichols, Bruce Vilanch and Marcia Wallace.
