When a lifelong farmer receives a letter outlining the harsh new realities of the dairy industry, he must confront not only his past, but his future as well.
MY FATHER, MY FARM is a documentary-short film which focuses on the future of the dairy industry, suicide and the relationship between a father and his son.

What We Need & What You Get
- We're looking to secure $2,500 in order to cover post-production costs which include color, sound and festival/EMMY® submission fees.
- If we don't reach our fundraising goal, this film will be released regardless (all out of our own pocket). Kayleigh and I are in the process of releasing four documentary-short films in 2019. So every contribution goes a long way for making these films possible.
