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.DAD GENES premieres at Dances With Films NYC on January 16th, 2026.
