The Baby Formula is a 2008 Canadianmockumentary film, directed by Alison Reid.[1] The film stars Angela Vint and Megan Fahlenbock as Athena and Lilith, a lesbian couple each pregnant with the other's baby through an experimental stem cell procedure that created artificial sperm from their DNA.[2]
Both Vint and Fahlenbock were actually pregnant in real life during the production of the film.[3] Vint gave birth during filming, necessitating some adjustments to the production schedule.[4]
