Dove Men+Care Casting Call
Dove Men+Care in partnership with Jigsaw Casting is seeking Dads across Canada who will be on paternity leave between Jan to March 2019 for a new content series.
Concept
This is a content series that follows several fathers on their paternity leave journey. A documentarian will follow each father at different times throughout their paternity leave. Dads will also be given GoPro cameras to document their unique process from preparing financially to the experiences of spending time with their new child at home. Our goal is to create content that’s both emotionally and intellectually engaging, connecting the viewer with the real stories of families going through this experience. Our hope is that more men will take advantage of the Governments paternity leave program.
