A brand new film about gay parents, focusing on families from
the UK has been commissioned by Square Peg Media.
The film is being produced by Violet Productions and will shoot
on location around the UK this summer before being shown worldwide at Gay
festivals in 2014.
The currently untitled Gay Parenting film is in production
stages at the moment with Violet Productions inviting any potential gay parents
to share their stories.
The documentary aims to highlight the increasing prevalence of
gay families in the UK, understanding the challenges, the joys and the
realities that come with bringing up a family as same-sex parents.
Violet Productions is headed up by Jay Hunt, who worked in
television as a producer/director for 20 years before setting up her own
company in 2008.
The commissioners, Square Peg Media are the publishers of gay
magazines G3 and Out in the City, as well as the organisers of the European
Diversity Awards and the Alternative Parenting Show, for which actors Charlie
Condou and Sophie Ward are the ambassadors. The company is headed by Linda
Riley and Sarah Garrett who are parents to 6-year old twin girls.
