There is something uniquely theatrical in writer\/director Jeremy Hersh\u2019s<\/strong> intimate film, The Surrogate<\/em><\/strong>. This insightful story unfolds almost as if you were watching a play with the highly professional acting associated with that art form.\u00a0 The characters are totally developed, supporting the believable, excellent dialogue.\u00a0 The well-honed script presents a penetrating look at the struggle between three friends who are faced with an ethical and perhaps even a moral dilemma.<\/p>\n

L-R: Aaron played by Sullivan Jones, Jess characterized by Jasmine Batchelor and Josh, Aaron\u2019s husband, played by Chris Perfetti \u2013 good friends entering into an arrangement that doesn\u2019t appear to have the happy outcome they expected.<\/span> PHOTO COURTESY OF MONUMENT RELEASING.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jess,<\/strong> exquisitely brought to life by a very talented Jasmine Batchelor<\/strong> is best friends with Josh<\/strong>, tenderly played by Chris Perfetti<\/strong>, and his husband Aaron<\/strong>, well played by\u00a0Sullivan Jones<\/strong>.\u00a0 They want to have a baby and Jess <\/strong>has agreed to be the egg donor and surrogate.\u00a0 The dipstick turned pink and they are jubilant that she tested positive and a new life has begun.\u00a0 They have agreed to cover all the attendant expenses to having their baby and the three of them are delighted.\u00a0 Jess <\/strong>continues her work as a web designer for a local non-profit and it seems all is well.\u00a0 There are lots of fun dinners, yoga classes, laughter, and great excitement over the arrival of the baby.\u00a0 All is well until they receive some unsettling news.\u00a0 After the third month, the prenatal test is positive for Down<\/strong> syndrome and thus begins a painful decision journey for the three friends. Jess <\/strong>wants more information and the three of them go to a community center that specializes in working with Down<\/strong> children.\u00a0 It appears to be a happy place and the children are engaged in all sorts of activities.\u00a0\u00a0 There Jess <\/strong>meets young, really adorable Leon<\/strong>, beautifully played by Down<\/strong> actor Leon Lewis<\/strong>, and his devoted mother Bridget,<\/strong> excellently played by Brooke Bloom.<\/strong>\u00a0 Jess<\/strong> asks if she could visit their home. Bridget says yes and invites her for dinner during which she shares her experiences in raising her child, some of which are quite challenging.\u00a0 Leon<\/strong> is reasonably verbal and cheerfully responds to whatever instructions he receives from his mom.\u00a0 Back at Josh <\/strong>and Aaron\u2019s <\/strong>apartment in Williamsburg<\/strong> Brooklyn<\/strong>, the guys are clearly conflicted and are having second thoughts on the prospects of raising a Down <\/strong>child, citing what they perceive to be the on-going attendant costs. With much sadness, they tell her that they decided they don\u2019t want to have the child and ask her to abort the fetus and, at the moment, she agrees.\u00a0 To find a temporary respite from the horrible choice that lies before her, Jess <\/strong>has sex with her old boyfriend Nate,<\/strong> a really sweet guy characterized by Brandon Micheal<\/strong> Hall.<\/strong>\u00a0 He wants to marry her and says he will be supportive of whatever she decides, whether her decision is to abort or not to abort, in which case he would help her raise the child. At 29 <\/strong>years of age, and apparently commitment phobic, Jess<\/strong> doesn\u2019t want to get married or even have a steady boyfriend. After giving it a great deal of thought, she decides that she does not want to abort and goes to her mother, Karen (Tonya Pinkins)<\/em><\/strong> to seek $100,000<\/strong> from the trust fund left by her grandparents and would use the funds to buy a house for she and the baby.\u00a0 With a Masters Degree<\/strong> from Columbia,<\/strong> her mom patiently points out the pitfalls of raising a special needs child and refuses the request.\u00a0 She defends herself pointing out all the money she donates to charities with Jess<\/strong> shooting back that such generosity was to \u201cassuage guilt for living a privileged life.\u201d\u00a0 In the meantime, Josh <\/strong>and Aaron<\/strong> are under the impression that she is going to have an abortion.\u00a0 The day before the scheduled procedure, Jess<\/strong> goes back to her friends to try to reason with them, saying they could co-parent the child, but Josh<\/strong> has an unpleasant memory from his childhood of a Down<\/strong> kid named Devon <\/strong>and doesn\u2019t want that for his child.\u00a0 In a heartfelt plea, he tries to explain that being a gay married couple was hard enough which is why they want to at least have a normal kid.\u00a0 She doesn\u2019t commit one way or the other and\u00a0moves in with her loving sister Samantha,<\/strong> sympathetically played by Eboni Booth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

L-R: Surrogate Jess (Jasmine Batchelor) meets with Aaron (Sullivan Jones) and his husband Josh (Chris Perfetti) who present a compromise on how to deal with the unborn child.<\/span> PHOTO COURTESY OF MONUMENT RELEASING.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The guys visit Jess<\/strong> at her sister\u2019s house and propose that instead of aborting the child that they put it up for adoption.\u00a0 At that point, Jess <\/strong>gets angry and refuses that suggestion telling them she is going to have the child and that they will never be allowed to visit.\u00a0 Still there is the slightest question mark as to what action she will ultimately undertake and we are left with a lovely cliffhanger.<\/p>\n

The Surrogate<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> which is director Hersh\u2019s<\/strong> first feature, is a pitch perfect, fascinating, well-crafted, highly intelligent film.\u00a0 His narrative does not take a moral position on abortion and allows each of his characters to make his or her own case, as to abort or not to abort, in non-diatribe, non-exploitative, crisp dialogue, with valid points of view.\u00a0 Enhancing this captivating, excellent movie with his extremely fine theatre trained acting ensemble, is his production crew starting with Mia Cioffi<\/strong> Henry\u2019s<\/strong> sensitive cinematography, D\u2019Vaughn Agu\u2019s<\/strong> delicate production design, culminating with Cecilia Delgado\u2019s<\/strong> spot-on editing, all working together for this absorbing 93<\/strong>-minute Indy<\/strong> film which can be viewed through the Vimeo on Demand<\/strong> platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
