Questions

Short answers. If yours is not here, reply to any email from us or write to hello@dadly.ai.

What is a dadly film?

A three-minute film of a dad and his kid, cut from the video clips already on a phone. The dad answers five questions out loud. We cut a story from the clips and his answers, and deliver it as a private link. It is made to be given as a gift.

How much does it cost?

The first ten founding films are $249 each. After that, a core film made remotely is $399, and an in-person half-day shoot in Denver is $1,500. One-time purchase. There is no subscription.

How long does it take?

Ships in six to eight weeks from the day your clips and his answers arrive. Holiday orders placed by November 30 are delivered by December 18.

What do I need to send?

Twenty to sixty phone clips of him and the kid, any length, any quality, through a private upload link. And his five answers, recorded as voice memos on his phone. That is all.

Is my kid's face safe?

Your film is private by default. It is delivered by private link and deleted from our storage 30 days after delivery. Nothing from your film appears anywhere public without a signed release from both parents, and children's faces are blurred in anything public unless both parents opt in explicitly in writing.

Is this a subscription?

No. One film, one price.

What if I order and the founding ten are gone?

Your card is not charged and you are first in line for the next ten.

How is this different from Storyworth?

Storyworth turns written answers into a printed book over a year. A dadly film turns the clips you already have plus five spoken answers into a three-minute film in six to eight weeks. One is a book to keep on a shelf. The other is something you watch together.

How is this different from the Memories feature in Apple Photos or Google Photos?

Those features build a montage from your camera roll with no story in it. A dadly film is cut by a person around his answers to five questions, so it has a beginning, a middle and an end. It also arrives as a gift, on a date, with his voice in it.

Who makes the films?

George V.K., a Denver video producer with fifteen years of brand films behind him, and the tooling he built to cut a phone-clip film in an afternoon.

Can I give it as a Father's Day or first-birthday gift?

Yes. Those are the two occasions it was built for. Father's Day 2027 is June 20; order by June 1.
