For more than eleven years, I have been fighting through family court while trying to remain an active father to my son. That experience changed me and showed me what years of legal conflict can do to a man.

Out of that, I started Dad Mode In Dark Mode. As the channel grew, I connected with men whose lives had also been changed by the legal system, along with people who had spent years working inside it. Those conversations made me realize this story was much bigger than my own.

I am raising funds to produce an independent documentary about what men can face in criminal and family court, what these systems can take from them, and how going through that kind of fight can change a man long after the courtroom is behind him.

Several people are already willing to sit down with me on camera. The stories are there. Now I need the funding to film them properly and turn those conversations into a finished documentary.

If you believe these stories deserve to be heard, I’m asking you to help me make this film. Every donation and share moves the project closer to being filmed, finished, and seen.
