Forget Avatar: Pre-Order “Evolution of Dad” *Now*
Posted on 01. May, 2010 by Brian Reid in Uncategorized
This has been a long time coming, but Dana Glazer’s documentary on modern fatherhood, “Evolution of Dad,” is now available for pre-order (it’ll be shipping on May 18).
Over the nearly 8 years that I’ve been writing this blog, there have been huge advances in the world of at-home dad media. We’ve had an explosion of websites. We’ve had some absolutely wonderful books (“The At-Home Dad Handbook,” “Daddy Shift”). Great newspaper pieces. At-home dads are now standard issue on prime-time ensemble family dramedies (“Parenthood,” “Desperate Housewives”). We’ve even had Eddie Murphy do the at-home dad thing (“Daddy Day Care”). But we’ve never had a breakout documentary on fathers.*
Until now. Evolution of Dad (see the trailer here) will be out later this month, and pre-orders will be accepted over the next two weeks. If you’re interested in checking it out, head over to evolutionofdad.com and buy a copy. It’s about 20 bucks, plus shipping, but if you put in the code REBEL400, they’ll knock 15 percent off during the pre-order period.**
* To be fair, there have been documentaries on at-home dads, notably Happy SAHD, but they haven’t had the audience that Evolution of Dad appears to have.
** In the interest of disclosure, I’m not getting anything by shilling for this film. I just believe deeply in what Dana is doing. The EvoDad people have let me take a look at the film, and I’ll be sure to put up that post later this month.
