The Baby Formula is a 2008 Canadian mockumentary 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]

The film's cast also includes Rosemary Dunsmore, Dmitry Chepovetsky, Matt Baram and Maggie Cassella.

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]

The film premiered in August 2008 at the Montreal World Film Festival.[5] It was screened at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival in Toronto in 2009,[6] where it won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film.[7]
