HONEY MILK BISCUIT
An invitation for Garuda Indonesia, to partner on our Bali-based Feature Film

Partner with us on an Ubud-based feature film
A rare opportunity for Garuda Indonesia to become an official creative film partner.
Most surprisingly, only a handful of narrative feature films have ever based their entire production in Bali, Indonesia.
Honey Milk Biscuit is forging a new path: a Sydney-based production arriving this July to collaborate with Balinese creatives at a private architectural landmark in Payangan. The project is deeply rooted in Bali’s natural landscape—its food philosophy, jungle environment, and layered cultural traditions—elements that have long inspired travellers and artists from around the world.
The film presents Bali not simply as a backdrop, but as a living cultural environment. This spirit closely aligns with Garuda Indonesia’s philosophy of celebrating Indonesian identity and sharing the richness of the archipelago with the world.
We see Garuda Indonesia as the natural bridge for this exchange: connecting Australian filmmakers with Balinese artists, and helping bring a story grounded in Indonesia’s natural and cultural heritage to international audiences.
We are proposing a strategic partnership in which Garuda provides travel and media baggage support for cast and crew. In return, the airline receives global film exposure, brand integration opportunities, and a pre-license commitment for Garuda’s in-flight entertainment platform.
Together, this collaboration would position Garuda not simply as a transport partner, but as the airline that enabled a rare cross-pollination of creative worlds.

A SCENE FROM THE FEATURE
Our Teaser Premiered at Academy-Accredited Flickerfest
Honey Cake, a scene from the feature, was filmed in Australia with highly acclaimed DOP Tyson Perkins leading a tier 1 crew. Originally intended as a proof-of-concept, it secured festival interest in a prime programming slot and received an overwhelming response.
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.
Partnership Proposal: Garuda Indonesia
Strategic Alliance & Asset Acquisition We are seeking a multifaceted partnership with Garuda Indonesia to facilitate our global production logistics. This includes complimentary round-trip flights for our core crew of 6–8 personnel and a specialized baggage allowance for high-value cinema equipment.
Central to this collaboration is a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Garuda Indonesia for the future acquisition of the film for its In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system.
In exchange, Garuda will be elevated to "Official Airline Partner" status, receiving prominent logo placement in the end credits of the film and a dedicated "Special Thank You" to signify the brand’s commitment to world-class independent cinema, with the exclusive premiere rights for the film in inflight entertainment.

Audience, Reach, and Global Exposure
This film is designed to travel widely across festivals, streaming platforms, and international licensing, generating sustained global visibility over its lifecycle. Comparable independent films in this space typically reach tens of millions of impressions across festival audiences, press coverage, streaming discovery, and digital circulation.
A partnership with Garuda Indonesia positions the airline at the centre of that global journey.
By premiering the film within Garuda’s in-flight entertainment network, the airline becomes the first platform introducing the story to international audiences. Each year, Garuda carries millions of travellers across Asia, Europe and Australia, many of them flying directly to Bali — the cultural setting that inspired the film.
For these passengers, the film becomes a natural inflight experience: a contemporary story immersed in Bali’s landscapes, food philosophy, and wellness culture, watched while travelling to the island itself.
As the film continues its global life across festivals, press coverage, and streaming platforms, Garuda’s involvement travels with it — positioning the airline not only as a carrier to Bali, but as the partner that helped introduce the story to audiences around the world.
Extended Partnership & Content possibilities
Beyond the primary film production, we offer Garuda Indonesia exclusive access to our Tier-1 cinematic infrastructure. This creates an opportunity for a high-yield, separate negotiation to produce premium branded content for Garuda’s digital and social channels. By leveraging our world-class film crew and specialized equipment while we are already on location, Garuda can execute high-production-value commercial assets at a fraction of the cost of a standalone agency shoot.
Additionally, we offer the option to purchase bespoke cinematic footage from our production. This allows the airline to acquire high-fidelity, "lifestyle-first" b-roll and atmospheric visuals that align with the premium wellness and luxury travel aesthetic of the film. These assets are designed to be multi-purpose—ideal for future marketing campaigns, social storytelling, or internal brand films—providing a turn-key solution for Garuda to maintain a world-class visual identity across all platforms.
Beyond the film’s reach, our unit will act as a high-end creative agency while on location, producing bespoke 4K brand assets for Garuda’s own "Slow Travel" campaigns at a fraction of traditional costs. The location is secured and pre-production is underway; we are now looking for the partner to fly the vision home.
