“I love how the Daddying Film Festival’s theme and program showcase dads from a kid’s perspective. Kids expressing themselves through film and also evaluating their peers’ short-films as judges is sure to get them thinking more critically about the value and impact of content they consume in today’s media.”

- Filmmaker, Actor & Dad, David Alan Basche
