DVD is away for duplication!

After a successful screening in Swindon for Dads & partners to check the film before the DVD was mastered, followed by a not-so-successful crash of Jackie's laptop that meant some of the artwork for print had to be remade, at last the DVD and CD are away being duplicated! There will be 50 'special' double-cased DVDs with music CD, and a further 450 boxed and shrink-wrapped DVDs. So we hope everyone reading this will want to get copies, and recommend the film widely! Details of how to order your copies and contribute to the project will be posted shortly.

The main film is 28 minutes long and includes soundtracks from the music workshops - featuring the Dads Rap 'We're Here To Stay' and a new track 'Skin to Skin; Proud to be a Young Dad'. Also lots of insights and information for anyone with any interest in young fathers. It includes footage from the workshops and interviews of the last 6 months, research, links for further info, and shows the 11 young dads who have been involved in the project.

There's also a further 80 minute of selected edits from the various interviews, workshops and courses. A series of 'Dads Speak' features address topics ranging from advice to other young people, birth, benefits and housing, relationships, to the highlights and challenges of being a young dad. Plus thought-provoking responses to the question 'Is there any other message you would like to give to people watching this film...?'
