Lights, Camera, Daddying: Inside the Daddying Film Festival & The Evolution of Fatherhood with Allan Shedlin

In a special episode that traverses the intricate landscapes of fatherhood, education, and advocacy, we are honored to host Allan Shedlin, a beacon for families and the force behind the Daddying Film Festival (D3F). Allan, whose career spans from the classroom to influential policy advisory roles, shares his profound journey into the realm of 'Daddying' a concept he defines as the nurturing, lifelong commitment to fatherhood. This discussion sheds light on the evolution of fatherhood, the significance of early education at the National Elementary School Center, and the transformative power of positive dad involvement.

Allan Shedlin, founder of REEL Fathers and DADvocacy Consulting Group (DCG), has dedicated his life to elevating the importance of involved fatherhood. His work, deeply rooted in his experiences as a father and grandfather, has led to the creation of the world’s first film festival exclusively dedicated to celebrating and promoting positive father involvement: The Daddying Film Festival and Forum.
