Gayby Baby, the feature documentary about the experience of growing up in a family with two gay parents, told from the point of view of four children,  is about to be released commercially in North America, after a launch last year at Toronto’s Hotdocs. It ​did well at Australian festivals, and has made $95,000 in ​local cinemas so far, and has had 36 Tugg event screenings, almost all of which were in conventional theatres and six sold out.
