The Baby Formula (2008)
In 2006, director Alison Reid made a 13-minute film called Succubus in which a lesbian couple (Angela Vint, Megan Fahlenbock) try to get pregnant using only their own combined DNA. The short (included here) spawned a feature-length version, shot in Toronto and starring the same actresses but now framed as a (mock) documentary. Both actresses got pregnant between the two films. Vint's water broke just before she was supposed to film the scene in which her character's water breaks.
Julia (2008)
Erick Zonca's 138-minute film is an overlong drama-thriller that tests both patience and credulity. But at its core is a bravura performance by Tilda Swinton as a lying, "out-of-control, suicidal" alcoholic (so says her ex-boyfriend, played by Saul Rubinek) who thinks kidnapping a friend's child will be her big break. Asked in 2008 how she prepared for the role, Swinton said she can't get drunk; she falls asleep. "But I've been hanging out with drunks my whole life. It's all the preparation you need."
