Dear Ol' Dad (a documentary)

Hi, it's Jaymz Bee. Over the years, I've had the privilege of creating three award-winning short films internationally, and now I’m excited to be wrapping up my first feature film.

Recently, I’ve been inspired to create a documentary about my father, titled Dear Ol’ Dad. I began this project while he was still alive, having the chance to interview him a few times, and now, after his passing, it’s become a deeply therapeutic process for me.

My father, who lived to be 87, hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for 20 years. He’s been fed through a stomach drip after surviving cancer. Despite this, his positive outlook and incredible sense of humor have always been contagious. I truly believe this documentary will uplift people. It’s filled with archival footage, hilarious photos, and even insights from his book Where Was I?, which raises a lot of fascinating questions.

He was a born-again atheist, a gentleman, and a gentle man, with a sharp, wicked sense of humor. I’m starting production in May and aim to complete the project by the end of this year.

I am happy to credit anyone who donates to this project at the end of the film. Thanks in advance for checking this out, and double thank you if you can help in some way!
