Melbourne 'Gay Dads' film attracts European interest


Directed by Robert Chuter, The Dream Children is the story of closeted TV personality Steven (Graeme Squires), whose partner Alex (Nicholas Gunn) decides he wants to become a dad.

When the couple come to the aid of a pregnant junkie in St Kilda, it seems their dream could become a reality - until the trio's relationship takes a dark twist.

The first Aussie film to show a same-sex wedding and feature same-sex adoption, The Dream Children is supported by private investment as well as organisations like Gay Dads and Equal Love.

According to a spokesperson for production company Fat Kid Films, five production companies in Germany and one in France have shown interest in the film, which is likely to become a co-production.

The film will be submitted to festivals - including Sundance, Berlin and Toronto film festivals - before a release in Europe in 2011 to gain momentum for an Australian cinema release later that year.
