A workaholic father comes home to discover his twin daughters have built a Digital Android Doppelgänger that they lovingly call D.A.D.
What an interesting film and a message for workaholic dads everywhere - if you don't spend enough time with your children, something else will replace you. In this case... a robot. The film has great production values with excellent camera work and audio recording. The two girls, played by Gabriella Sims and Isabella Sims and the D.A.D., played by Darien Sills-Evans are well cast. They all play their characters quite realistically. The plot is well developed; I particularly enjoyed the scene when the robot D.A.D. is teaching the girls to ride hovercrafts. It drives home the idea that you can be replaced by a robot if you are absent enough. Kudos to writer/director James A. Sims for a well-developed short with a message.
The film's message is a funny and inspiring reminder for dads everywhere not to lose sight of what is most important to you.
I give D.A.D. 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
