"Together Together" Writer/Director Nikole Beckwith Follows Where Curiosity Leads

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this installment of MMN is writer/director Nikole Beckwith. Nikole’s latest film, the second feature she’s both written and directed is called "Together Together." The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, stars Ed Helms as Matt, as a 45-year-old single man whose desire to become a father leads him to hire young Anna, played by Patti Harrison, as a gestational surrogate.   "Together Together" explores the platonic relationship between two strangers, who are brought together through an intimate experience and need to explore parts of their own lives through each other. The film is currently available on VOD via Amazon Prime and iTunes. Nikole Beckwith spoke to me from her home in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
