Hey out there. I know. Long time since the last post. It’s been a long, cold winter, but the ‘Evolution’ continues and I’ll do my best to keep up the posts as well as push this project through to its completion.

New Music For The Film
Singer/songwriter Adriel Borshansky is working on a new song for inclusion in the film and I’m so excited about it that I wanted to share it in its very early form.

In Memoriam: Ralph Benitez
A few days ago one of the project’s subjects, Ralph Benitez, passed away. Given his long battle with AIDS and his deteriorating health, his death was not a shock, but it is still so sad.

Such is the case with finding Ralph Benitez, a Bronx native, who I happened to come across while on a camping trip at Harriman State Park a few weeks back. We happened to be washing dishes together at a public… Continue Reading
Why We Film
From the start the goal of making this film has been to affect change by educating and inspiring more dads to get involved with their kids.
