About the Work
Day One is a short film about a young father who is unexpectedly left with the responsibility of caring for a newborn baby after its mother dies. The film dramatically portrays the moral dilemmas and practical challenges faced in such a situation and reflects on the challenges of fatherhood, in a social context where male parenting issues are rarely considered or represented. As Kaleb D’Aguilar states, “Day One was written as social commentary…an unexplored narrative…an unheard voice.”
