Original Film Title: Bespoke ART

Director’s Name: Jingjing Chen

Writer’s Name: Jingjing Chen, MM

Producer: Jingjing Chen, Feiyu Li

Country of Origin: China

Country of Filming: China

Language: English, Mandarin Chinese

Runtime: 1 hour 12 minutes 36 seconds

Film Description:

When bespoke becomes a label for optimized service, the human race is no longer content with customizing things; it begins to customize humans. One by one, the perfect service, the perfect children, the intricate global fertility chains, and the women therein fade out from the documentary footage, while director Jingjing steps into the spotlight from behind the camera. She becomes a Thai surrogate in captivity, but also a surrogacy agent who achieved upward social mobility; she turns into a selfless and hypocritical American surrogate mother – a product of technology born through surrogacy herself; she even tries to play an elite black lesbian at the very top of the feminist chain of contempt, only to collapse in on herself.
