Experiencing Interruptions?

THE BIG DADDY

A young girl confronts her own morality when her father's life hangs in the balance.

Stella Phoenix, daughter of seasoned hitman Agent Jim Phoenix, has got some big daddy issues. Her father's unconventional occupation drives a wedge between the two, and Stella struggles to accept him and any sort of relationship. She's used to frequent nights left alone with her thoughts and a babysitter due to Agent Phoenix's many missions. However, when an adversary from her father's past confronts her, Stella is faced with an ultimatum. Will she stick with her guns or take her shot at a new perspective?

Director Statement

As the son of a single father, I've pulled from personal experience to infuse this story with the flood of emotions that come with growing up in a broken home. The story exists not only to convey the strains of familial relationships, but also the triumphs and little victories made within them. Overall, The Big Daddy explodes with action while gently treading the waters of acceptance and human connection.
