Filmmaker Statement

I should preface all of this by saying that yes -- I am a dad, and no -- I have never breastfed. When my daughter was a few months old, my wife went over to a friend's house for some time away from the baby, and I was tasked with putting her down for the night by myself for the first time. Not long after successfully getting her to sleep in her crib, and feeling very proud of myself, I was interrupted from patting myself on the back by her crying. I went upstairs to try to calm her down and found that nothing I did was working. Rocking, singing, burping, shushing ... nothing. And the crying only got louder and more intense. Eventually she calmed down and fell back asleep, on her own accord, the intensity of her cries paired with my anxieties and insecurities about being a first time parent led to a feeling that made a major impact on me.
