Pink Lake is a Canadian drama film, directed by Emily Gan and Daniel Schachter and released in 2020. [1] The film centres on Sam (Charles Brook) and Cora (Alysa Touati), a couple whose relationship is tested when Sam's old friend Nadia (Marie-Marguerite Sabongui) visits to request that Sam become a sperm donor so that she can be a mother. [2]
The film was written by Gan and Schachter based in part on their own real-life relationship debates about whether they were ready to have kids, and shot in 2019 at Brook's cottage on Pink Lake in the Outaouais region of Quebec. [3] Apart from Sabongui and a small supporting appearance by Sophie Desmarais, it was acted principally by non-professional actors. [3]
The film premiered in the True North program at the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival. [4] Due to the disruptions of film distribution caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it did not go into commercial release until 2022. [5]
