Chloe Wong: Milk Dad

Chloe Wong is a writer and development executive who has worked in various rooms with Fremantle, Matchbox Pictures/NBCU, and Princess Pictures amongst others. She is particularly passionate about the authentic portrayal of sexual identity and ethnic diversity in any form of media.

Milk Dad is a short film about rainbow families that will serve as a proof of concept for a feature film. It is a drama about queer parenting, specifically the process, trials and tribulations of IVF.

The team currently consists of Chloe and the director who is a queer non-binary person. They currently have a pitch deck and story synopsis and have secured a production company.

This small grant supports the running of a writers room, where they will workshop the premise with additional voices. This is important as IVF in general is not widely portrayed in media or on screen, much less about the queer community—and when it is about a same-sex couple it tends to be portrayed comedically rather than authentically.
