What we ended up with was afilm filled with honest anecdotes and helpful advice from new fathersthemselves, that any dad or dad-to-be can relate to. The feeling of being afather is universal and BEING DAD addresses pregnancy and birth from the man'spoint of view and provides an entertaining resource that couples can watchtogether to promote honest and open discussion."

About the Filmmakers

BEING DAD was the brainchild of Aussie friends Sam Holt and Troy Jones.Upon simultaneously learning their wives were pregnant, they began seekinganswers to common questions, only to find there's actually very littlematerial available for men. In their quest for answers, they quicklydiscovered they were not alone. Their first production in Australia instantlybecame a social phenomenon and broke all Australian sales records for specialinterest documentaries. Shortly thereafter, with support from the Australiangovernment, segments from the film became widely-circulated countrywidethrough hospitals, birthing centers and prenatal classes. . They also saw thecommon shortage of helpful information geared towards men and a totally newand updated U.S. film project was born.
