dadly film · a gift for him

The gift that isn't another toy

He has enough things. He does not have a film of himself being a dad. You have the clips. That is the whole gift.

Here is what happens. You order, you send twenty to sixty phone clips through a private link, and we send him five questions to answer out loud on his phone. He will not know what it is for unless you tell him; most people tell him it is for a project. Six to eight weeks later, you get a private link. You pick the day.

What comes back is three minutes with a story in it, his voice under the clips, the kid's name on the title card. It is the thing people rewatch. Nobody rewatches a fourteen-second clip.

The origin

For George's birthday, his wife cut a film like this from clips on her phone. It opens with their son's voice: "Papa, I love you. You're the best dad in the world." He cried through the whole thing. He has made films for Chipotle and Lexus for fifteen years. Hers is the best one he has ever been given. That film is why this exists.
