Transplant
- Jason Park
- United States
In this intense psychological drama, Jonah (Eric Nam), a highly motivated Korean-American surgical resident, is committed to getting ahead. When he gets the chance to train under the notorious Dr. Edward Harmon (Bill Camp), a legendary heart transplant surgeon, Jonah must choose between appeasing his abusive mentor and staying true to his values, as well as between career and family, ambition and morality.
Following the success of his award-winning Chicago-made short BJ’s Mobile Gift Shop, Chicago native Jason Park’s feature debut operates like Whiplash meets Grey’s Anatomy with Jonah and Dr. Harmon on an increasingly unnerving collision course. As the tensions between teacher and student come to a head and conflicts escalate with surprising — and sometimes shocking — outcomes, Jonah learns that perfection comes at a high cost.
