Why We Need Your Help
Based on the success of the Pilot, American Public Television has asked us to create 5 episodes for 2025. Creating this doc series takes dedication, resources, and funding. The pilot was a significant first step, but to continue producing meaningful episodes such as those about screen time, new masculinity, male friendship and mental health, we need your support. Every dime raised goes directly toward funding the show.
The upcoming season includes:
Exploring screen time challenges with the Surgeon General
Defining new masculinity with experts and real Dads
Addressing loneliness and friendship with popular influencers
Discussing values, bullying, and freedom with acclaimed authors
And showcasing real dads sharing their authentic stories
How Your Contribution Helps
Your pledges will go directly to the production of four new episodes set to air around Father’s Day 2025 on Public Television. Funds will be used for:
Filming and editing
Graphics and travel expenses
Research, writing, and back-end post-production costs
With each dollar, we’re creating resources that don’t stop at the screen. Every $1 contribution allows 5 more families to access our toolkits and conversation guides. These discussions help parents decide what’s important and best for their own families.
