Episode: Dad Genes Director Craig Downing on Redefining Family and Unexpected Parenthood
Description: What happens when our youth catches up with us In this ScreenFish 1on1 interview, DAD GENES director Craig Downing reflects on discovering Aaron Long’s story and being present for a meeting that quickly changed everything. The new documentary explores how a former sperm donor becomes something harder to define—a biological father. As new relationships form and an unconventional household emerges, DAD GENES asks deeper questions about what makes a family: genetics, choice, or presence. It’s a thoughtful look at modern identity, technology, and the fragile, human bonds that grow when people show up for one another.
