HONEY MILK BISCUIT

A sickly sweet Bali-based Feature

Filming July 2026

A rare offer to Co-Produce a film, in Ubud

A limited-seat opportunity to be involved in a Bali-based feature film.

It may come as a surprise that only a handful of narrative features have ever based their entire production in Bali. This production truly is forging a new path.

Honey Milk Biscuit — a dramedy following an obsessive, unravelling nutritionist — will shoot entirely on location in Payangan, at a private architectural landmark, engaging both Australian and Indonesian creative teams.

This is more than a feature film project. It’s a rare cross-pollination of worlds — a production rooted in Bali’s untouched landscape, away from the spectacle of tourism, closer to Bali’s older rhythms.

This project is already in pre-production for July. The location (pictured) is secured, but we’re still open to select partners with an ardour for Bali’s creative nature.

On Location

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 and an exceptional crew. Originally intended as a proof-of-concept, it secured festival interest in a prime programming slot and received an overwhelmingly strong response — well beyond expectations.

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.

Although the project is fully independent, we’re excited to invite partners to step into the world with us and further enrich it.

We’re opening conversations with aligned brands, potential co-producers and press who recognise the value of culturally distinctive, cross-market storytelling.

While the film itself is playful, elevated and imaginative, the production strategy is grounded. The financial model has been carefully structured around today’s independent film market realities. We’re working with emerging talent while selectively exploring the attachment of industry-recognised voices to broaden reach and credibility.

If the project resonates, we’d welcome a conversation.

The Producer/Director

Steve is a longtime advertising writer and art director, with experience across award-winning agencies in Australia and New Zealand.

His debut short — which he wrote, produced, directed and starred in — premiered at the Academy Award–qualifying Slamdance Film Festival (LA), earning a Staff Pick and attracting the attention of Mosaic LA. That momentum led to development collaborations with FX, Anonymous Content, Iconoclast and Aquarius Films in Sydney.

After years in studio development, his focus returned to independent making. That shift led to Honey Milk Biscuit.

Drawing on his advertising discipline and production experience, the film marks his most personal work to date — sparked by a now-resolved health crisis.
