"THE SWEETEST DRAMA OF THE YEAR!"
--Jim Carl, North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival

TEDDY is an emotional film that resonates. It’s a story of hope and despair, joy and regret, denial and acceptance - capped off with an ending that has moved festival-going audiences across the globe.

When Tony’s partner Neil abandoned him for a new start on the other side of the world, he thought his life was over. 

Years later, a holiday invitation from Neil arrives: to come and stay in New Zealand with him - and his new partner Phil - releasing a tide of mixed emotions: 

What does it mean? Should he go?

Will he measure up to the new man?

Does Neil still love him, and does he want to know the answer to that question?

And what has happened to Teddy?

$1 FROM EVERY TEDDY DVD SALE GOES TOWARD SUPPORTING HIV POSITIVE NEW ZEALANDERS

By purchasing a copy of TEDDY, you’ll not only be supporting independent gay New Zealand film, you’ll also be helping Body Positive, a peer support organisation run by and for people living with HIV and AIDS in New Zealand.

Body Positive provides a broad range of services for people living with HIV and AIDS, breaking down barriers of isolation and building a sense of community.

With no government funding, Body Positive relies entirely on donations from the community to provide its services.

2009 saw the highest number of new HIV diagnoses in New Zealand's history, and demands on Body Positive's services have never been greater, right at a time when the recession has cut income from traditional community funding sources to an all-time low.

CEO Bruce Kilmister explains just one of the services provided by Body Positive:

“We see HIV positive gay men delaying medical support because they cannot afford to see a doctor.  With your financial support, Body Positive provides free medical clinics.”

This special edition DVD of TEDDY is a perfect Christmas gift.
