DŽEREMI HERŠ / JEREMY HERSH
Jeremy Hersh is a filmmaker based in New York. His undergraduate thesis film Natives premiered at SXSW in 2013. In 2015, his short Actresses screened at Sundance, SXSW, BamCinemaFest, and The New Orleans Film Festival, where it won the audience award for narrative short. The Surrogate (2020) is his first feature.
Jeremy Hersh’s debut feature is a screen surprises, not because it’s “stagy” (though he has written plays), but because its engagingly argumentative virtues aren’t typical for movies anymore.
