Dads Rock, Working Moms tooāThe Big Flipās favs of the week
Our finds last week in our hunt for pix & tweets of dads absolutely rocking their roles. As a lucky strike extra, we found some rare sweet pix of working moms too!Ā
CUTEST BATH-TIME
This self-described ābearded, inked, hairy-chestedā dadĀ is not too tough to show his love.
āSo much love for this tiny humanā
GENTLEST TOUCH
"Proud baba and shy babyā moment from loving father Shahkeem Williams.
HARDWORKING & SWEET-LOVING
We don't find many social media moments of the working mom because, well, she's at work! Here's a glimpse into what happens when a new mother returns to work, thanks to InstagrammerĀ āFrom Where I Nurse.ā
āØ"I am currently taking a break from serving tables at the Cheesecake Factory to nurse this my girl because her daddy brought her in to see mešā
SWEETEST DREAMS
Another lovely working mom photo. The Big Flipās Photographer-in-Chief and breadwinner wife Paige Green takes a nap while her stay-at-home husband Arann Harris captures the sweet moment.
BEST STAR-WARS THEME
Chewbacca and TIE fighters in your lunchboxāwhat you get when your dad isĀ Beau Coffron, aka Lunchbox Dad!
MOST SURPRISING EQUAL PAY DAY PIX
Big love to all these fair-minded guys, husbands & dads who spoke up for equal pay, via He for She.
AWESOME DAD-THEMED COMMERCIAL

WEEKEND SHORTSāPICKS FROM THE BIG FLIP
Itās Friday. The weekend. Time to step back from the hustle and drink in this beautiful world we live in. Here are a few documentary shorts we love, that open our eyes to the diverse, beautiful and curious people we share this modern world with.
LOVE IN AUTISM
āFor all the research, hysterical media coverage, and hand-wringing there has been about autism in recent years, thereās shockingly little information on where the disorder overlaps with the most fundamental thing about being human: love.ā ~ Vanity Fair onĀ The Tribeca Film Festival documentary, Autism in Love.
We got misty-eyed watching the trailer, and canāt wait to see the film and find out how these stories turn out.
UNCERTAIN
āThough its name sounds like a horror movie setting waiting to happen, the small town of Uncertain, Texas, is just a little burg on the border of Louisiana, full of lost souls trying to do better and who depend on the town's marshy lake for their survival.ā Rolling Stoneās 15 Must-See Movies at Tribeca.
So many things we love about this film. Itās a peek into a fascinating world. Itās by a female director, Anna Sandilands, who crossed into documentary filmmaking from research & strategyāencouraging to us since The Big Flipās director is from a similar background.
OCEANS BY SEAFRETāMUSIC VIDEO
The relationships and stories in music videos are often implied than overt, so we may be reading into this! But this "young girl coming of ageā story feels touchingly true to life todayādaughter of a single mom, searching for her strength and identity. And how can you resist watching a piece that stars Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones!
THE MAGICAL MENAGERIE OF GREGOR & VIOLET
In our rough cut screening this week, the audience asked about stories from big flip couples without children. Hereās one! Gregor takes care of home, hearth and menagerie while his wife Violet wins the bread for the family. While we are not including their story in the main documentary film, we did follow Gregor and Violet for 18 months, and will edit and share their story online as a short. This video is from our first visit.

DADS ROCK! Fav pix & tweets of the week
Dads care, dads love, dads parent. Here are our fav pix and tweets from dads last week that prove just that.
MOST KICK-ASS
A brave encounter with Lord Vader from Dads with Attitude!
__________________________________
MOST UNAPOLOGETIC
Adorable pic from Adrian Kulp of Dad or Alive.
__________________________________
MOST CREATIVE
A well-earned repeat winner. Another two awesome lunchbox napkins from creative dad Jimmy Ettele.
__________________________________
MOST ELOQUENT
The photo is fabulous, but the sweet words of the proud and loving father is what captured our hearts. Aye aye, Jason of Captain Dad!
"This little lady is amazing, for so many reasons. She made me a dad, she's witty, she's tenacious, she's incredibly creative and imaginative, she loves and cares like no one else I've ever met, and lately she has stepped up her game in the helping out department. Being the oldest, she has always taken on the role as helper. Lately though, our life has been extra hectic, and thanks to her we have been able to operate successfully (for the most part)! We are extremely proud of the young lady she is growing up to be!ā
__________________________________
MOST TENDER & SWEET
At-home dad Mike Heanan of At-Home Dad Matters takes some incredible photos. Like this one of his two daughters for National Siblings Day.
__________________________________
MOST COURAGEOUS
This is blog post by Josh Misner on The Good Men Project is one of the bravest things we read last week. Ā
āItās time that fathers take a more active role in educating and raising their daughters to accept themselves for all that they are and ever will be. Itās time for all parents, but especially dads, to stop treating topics like menstruation and puberty like it is handling a contagious disease. Itās time for all of us to make our daughters (not to mention other girls and women) feel less like a dirty secret and more like the valuable yin to our yang that they truly are.ā
__________________________________
HONEST TALK
Feels wrong to give ourselves a āmostā credit, but we appreciate how these men opened up to share their experiences on the challenges and rewards of being an at-home dad.

CODE: Debugging The Gender Gap
One of the documentaries on our watch list! Getting more women in tech isn't just about social goodāit's better business. Here's an example you'll learn from the clip. The first airbags in our cars injured and killed women and children disproportionately more than men. Why? Because the engineers were all men, and so the specs were based on men. Having more diverse teams means bad product decisions like these could have been avoided sooner. And making good products is good business for everyone. https://vimeo.com/116799809
WEEKEND VIMEO WATCHĀ LIST FROM THE BIG FLIP
The weekend is almost here. Time to appreciate this beautiful world we live in, the people in our lives. So we offer you a few Vimeo gems for your Friday enjoymentādocumentary shorts we love that beautifully capture a range of Stories from the Modern Home Front.

ā"First it was her face, and she always had a beautiful face."A story of family, and my grandmother, who lost her courageous 13-year battle with Parkinson's Disease in February, 2011.āā
A touching dedication that captures a daughterās love.
Letter from Fred
āA short documentary telling a poignant story of life, love and music.ā
We love this sweet piece that tells the story of a connection across generations.
CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap (review/trailer)
This timely documentary about girls and technology is definitely on our watch list!Ā Getting more women in tech isn't just about social goodāit's better business. Here's an example you'll learn from the clip. The first airbags in our cars injured and killed women and children disproportionately more than men. Why? Because the engineers were all men, and so the specs were based on men. Having more diverse teams means bad product decisions like these could have been avoided sooner.

AT-HOME DADS TELL ALL!
Had fun going back in time to check out this at-home dads' luncheon we hosted while recruiting for the documentary. While much of the footage didn't make it into the rough cut, it would be a shame not to share the wonderful moments that came up as these dads talk frankly about the rewards and challenges of being an at-home dad.

The decision not to have kids isnāt about dismissing parenthoodĀ
Society makes a million assumptions about why some people choose not to have children ā they are too focused on their careers, they are materialistic, they are inherently selfish. Underlying all those accusations: These people just donāt understand or appreciate parenthood. But the decision not to have kids, is about something else entirely.
Another type of modern home front.
