In this adaptation of the play by Jonathan Tolins (who also wrote the screenplay), Brendan plays David Gold,
a gay man from a conservative Jewish family headed by father, Walter (Garry Marshall) and mother Phyllis (Faye Dunaway).
David's sister Suzanne (Jennifer Beals)
and her husband Rob (Jon Tenney) are expecting their first child and the Gold's who have no other grandchildren are looking forward to the blessed event, until Suzanne has a test that confirms the baby will be healthy, male, and...gay.
David's homosexuality has never fully been accepted by his family and this news divides the family as well as Suzanne and her husband when they must decide whether or not to have the baby.
Directed by Ross Marks, now a professor at New Mexico State University and the Executive Director of the Las Cruces International Film Festival. He also directs stage productions and his own award-winning short films.
Brendan received the Outstanding Achievement in Entertainment award at the 2017
Las Cruces International Film Festival.
