Directed by Amy Riley

Grieving parents attempt to face bereavement by attending local support meetings. Helen, a new addition to the group and a recent transplant, creates tension and raises suspicion within the well-established cohort when she refuses to open up about her past. The group must ultimately contend with their own feelings of discomfort while unearthing collective biases and deciding who is most deserving of their support. BabyCakes is an exploration of loss, birth, the hypocrisies of parenthood, and the death of loved ones.
