"I want to express how stories, true to life as 'Fatherhood' need to be spoken about. This short film delves into countless struggles in today's world, from mental health to family seperation . I believe that at some point in life, one of these stuggles in this film will resonate with someone. It's aim is more to just let people know, they are not alone; we are all going through challenges.”
