Love Is All You Need? The Movie

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED? tackles the topics of tolerance and bullying and suicide in the LGBTQ communit

Description

A straight love story in a gay world.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED? is a forbidden love story, set in a world where the social norm is reversed: homosexuality is mainstream, and heterosexuality is taboo.

Although the norms are reversed, this film is inspired by true events. The story unfolds in a small Indiana town that is rocked to its core when female college football star Jude Klein (Briana Evigan) strikes up a forbidden love affair with sports journalism major Ryan Morris (Tyler Blackburn).

When the couple is outed by Jude’s girlfriend Kelly (Emily Osment) the community’s powerful religious leader Reverend Rachel (Elisabeth Röhm) begins a vitriolic crusade from the pulpit against all heterosexuals, setting off a series of catastrophic events in the lives of 11-year-old Emily (Kyla Kennedy), who is experiencing her first crush on a boy, and a drama teacher (Jeremy Sisto) who pushes the boundaries of his heterophobic community to teach students about tolerance.

The feature film is based on the 19-minute short film of the same name, which organically garnered over 60 million views and was self-translated by fans into more than a dozen languages, deeply touching and affecting people around the world.

Created in 2011, the multi-award winning "Love Is All You Need?" is more than just film: it's a movement, designed to expose and combat hatred toward LGBTQ individuals. As more people like you get behind this project, its message continues to grow, reversing the culture of intolerance in our divided society.
