A visual journal dedicated to every Black father who has committed their lives to be present in their child's life. Incorporating both photography and film mediums, this short film invites you into an intimate letter written by a son to his father. Written and directed by Barrocks, with creative collaboration from O’Shane Howard, the film was created with the desire to honor Black fatherhood. “We always had our fathers in our lives,” says Barrocks. “They stayed and didn't leave. They were engaged and invested in our success. So, we wanted to tell this story instead of the common absentee Black dad narrative.”
