World's Greatest Dad
LOG LINE
Sometimes being the WORLD’S GREATEST DAD doesn’t make you the “BEST DAD EVER.”
SYNOPSIS
CHARLIE is an overachieving father who lives vicariously through his children and his smartphone. The WORLD’S GREATEST DAD who is not shy about letting you know.
One typical Saturday morning we find him alternating his attention from the news feed on his phone to his young daughters; amidst trying to rush off to run errands for his wife while she gets her chance to enjoy her Saturday Morning sleep in. Making his way out the door his youngest daughter clamors for his attention as she slides a colourful beaded bangle onto his wrist with big block letters proudly proclaiming him “WORLD’S GREATEST DAD.” He kisses her ‘Thank you’ on the top of her head as he slips out the door.
Throughout a series of chance encounters on his errand run, Charlie soon learns that being the 'World's Greatest Dad' doesn't necessarily make you the 'Best Dad Ever.'
