action
20-year-old New Yorker Milo is slowly panicking as her best friends are gradually beginning a life in which she no longer seems to participate. Her best friend Noor is pregnant and is preparing for the upcoming motherhood together with her wife KJ. Her roommate George has started a promising relationship with Teddy.
When Milo meets 52-year-old Roger, a gay man who runs a drag bar where he goes under the stage name Angela Merkin and who has given up hope of ever becoming a father after two rejected adoptions and one unsuccessful surrogacy she herself as an egg donor ready, also to give her life meaning.
production
The film title Milkwater can be found in the poem The Consecrating Mother by Anne Sexton . The Pulitzer Prize-winning American, who is known for writing openly about the intimate physical and emotional experiences of women, speaks in the poem of a naked woman whose breasts glow in the moonlight.
Directed by Morgan Ingari , who also wrote the script.
The film was shown at the Brooklyn Film Festival from late May to early June 2020 and celebrated its virtual premiere here. The non-virtual world premiere will take place in mid-June 2020 at the Lighthouse International Film Festival, where it will be shown in the “socially distanced drive-in format”. In September 2020 he will be shown in the official selection at the Atlanta Film Festival.
