HONEY MILK BISCUIT
A sickly sweet dramedy feature
Now open to Private Backers
An obsessive nutritionist’s world crumbles at the re-release of his favourite childhood treat—the Honey Milk Biscuit.
A darkly comedic exploration of nutritional extremism, Honey Milk Biscuit confronts the quiet toxicity of upper limit wellness.
Natane, a celebrated but increasingly idiosyncratic nutritionist, has built his life around “Vitamintality” — a rigid philosophy of plant-based purity and holism. But when a discontinued snack from the 90s resurfaces, his carefully curated earth ship ruptures and spills deep grief. A shaken-to-the-core Natane spirals, as his relationship, career and entire sense of being disintegrates — bee swarms, mother wounds, and visions of a spectral Honey Milk Bear the haunt. What starts out a satire of wellbeing becomes a deeper interrogation of eating disorders, avoidant attachment styles, and health-centric class, gender and racial disparities.
