This story requires more than a few people to tell it, and we want to keep this out-of-pocket project going.
The lives of Rose, her dad, her friends, and others, have been brought to you by a volunteer team with support from the local community. There is still much enthusiasm to create more. But we need help!
You can help us share this story with others:
- by spreading the word about Out With Dad.
- by donating to us.
You can give us the support we need to continue making episodes with consistent quality.
Thanks for being a part of Out With Dad.

Hello team of OWD. Thank you for creating this webseries. I live in Guatemala City, in Central America and this story makes me feel less alone. I love Will´s character and I wish I could meet more people like him in this country. Once again, thank you for the hard work, keep it up!

I’d like to learn more about this project, i.e. where it started, who and where it’s produced.
I’m sure this info is available somewhere, but I’m old and not sure where to start.
It just seems that a lot of my family members like it, and I want in on the good stuff.

People would probably be more willing to donate if they knew how much more was needed for a second season and how much you has been donated I know that I would anyway.

Hello. I’m from the south coast of New South Wales in Australia!
It is 1:48am in the morning here and i was just browsing through youtube because i couldn’t sleep. I have no idea what i typed in but i found this web series!
I really like it. the plot is so honest and down to earth.I love that it isn’t at all over the top or exaggerated.I love the realism of it.
All of the actors in this are amazing! they perform their characters so well ( very believable).
I’m a drama student at school so i get oppertunities to perform with in school but then there is only so much i can perform in school and only so many people i can perform to ( My usual audience is about 4 of my class mates and my teacher). I am envious of the actors bacause they get to push the boundaries of there talent.
I’m not aware of there being any web series in Australia, let alone near me but i shall have to look around.
Thankyou so much for making this series and i really hope you continue with it.
oh and also thankyou for opening my eyes to this new form of media i am very greatful.

Hi, Discovered this series on youtube. I truly think this series brings a much needed perspective to many of our lives. I know a project like this would’ve helped me a great deal when I was ‘coming out’. I think it’s a really great project for what it’s worth and also a great way to get the msg to people from all corners of the world

Thank you so much, Out with dad is awesome!
Don’t know how i found this show but I’m glad I did. It’s the most realistic series i’ve seen so far that’s covering this important topic.
For all the young people out there trying to come out, something like this could make it a little easier.. I know i recognized myself alot in her character.
Keep up the good work!

As I am a straight person but I do not know how I found your series through Youtube and the way of realism acting in this series attracted my attention to watch all the episodes and I am waiting with patience for watching the rest soon. From Morocco!!!

I’m from Singapore and I found out about this web series on Afterellen. Thank you for making these videos as it gave me hope as to how my parents would react if I were to come out to them. With an Asian family, I don’t harbour much hope but still it helps . Thank you very much

Hi!
I’m from Mexico, and I’m an indie producer so I have to say: your work is so well done!! I am also about to start a master on communication and cultural studies, and I was actually looking for some information on LGBT characters (since I will develop an investigation on that subject) when OWD came to me. LGBT people, specially teenagers, need media content like Out With Dad, because it shows there’s nothing wrong with being gay. At the end of the day, a messagge like this one helps to save lives!!! We don’t need any other reason to contribute, do we?
[Reply]
I’m definitely going to donate sometime! It will be in New Zealand dollars which won’t equate to much in American dollars but I hope that it still helps you out! Absolutely loved season 1 and the characters chosen for the roles are spot-on
Can’t wait for Episode 2 to come out! Not long to wait now!
[Reply]
When this series first came out, I was really weirded out by how young they looked, the acting was bad, and I just wasn’t that into the storyline.
My oh my, times have changed; this season is a lot more better! All of the actors and actresses have improved ten-fold, the dialogue is so well-written, and the pacing is brilliant. I love the fact that y’all are humorous too. Props to the great improvement y’all have made. Keep it up!

hello,I am from Venezuela,South America, i’m following that amazing series on this websites.thankyou and congratulations,i am waiting for the next episode,kisses.
[Reply]
I want to thank the whole Out with Dad team for this most delicate, subtle, moving serie.As everybody else who is gay, I watched quite a lot of movies, often as improbable as they are a long, long way of what being gay is all about but this serie touches my soul, it really does. Thank you so much.

Hi! I also discovered this series in YouTube a few months ago and I watched all the episodes in one night, today I checked if the second season had been realized and surprise: it was available!
I love this web series and I’m really excited about the Spanish subtitles because I started to watch it in English and obviously I missed lots of things trying to translate by myself every episode… luckily they weren’t in American English
While I’m waiting anxiously the 2×05, I’m going to watch from the beginning the whole series now that I will be able to understand every sentence, thank you very much!
Congratulations for the work!!! Greetings from Barcelona!
[Reply]
I just watched all the episodes back-to-back. In the first episodes, the acting may have seemed a little stilted and the script a little preachy but, as the episodes progressed, it improved and I really got into it. Season 2 was pretty powerful and I was starting to feel the characters were real. Good stuff that grows on you. Just a pity there aren’t already more episodes to carry on watching back-to-back! I want to find out how their relationship progresses. Well done and looking forward to more
[Reply]
I said from the first episode that Out with Dad was a gift and I have donated to ensure that it keeps on giving. Big Thank you & Big (((HUGS))) Love @abtthecause

Another great episode!
The writing and acting are both becoming more concise and the themes are progressing in real time.
Well done … looking forward to further episodes!

Launching a fundraiser at Kickstarter might be a good way to help continue the series and as well as might spread to a wider audience?

I enjoy “Out With Dad” immensly. I am a psychologist and deal with many individuals who struggle with issues of sexual preference and acceptance. Your show will be a great resource for me to direct people toward, particularly the younger crowd. I see that you need donations in order to keep the show running. I wish that the show was a weekly production, but I imagine the costs are prohibitive. Keep up the great work…and I’ll keep watching…and send a donation!

Alan,
Thank you so much for you generous donation and for this message. What you’ve said truly means a lot to us. The day you wrote this I made sure to share it with the rest of the OWD team. All the actors and crew persons were delighted and honoured to read it.
Moving forward, I’m going to aggressively pursue funds for our show. With your blessing, I’d like to include this testimonial as part of our package. You’re our first psychologist to write to us. Words from people like you, and the many teachers who use our show as a classroom aid would be very helpful illustrating the value of our show.
Again, thank you.
Jason

Thank you so much for the kind response. I am honored…’and delighted’…that you shared my message with the crew at “Out With Dad”. I have so much respect for everyone, and think the production, the acting, and the story telling are superior and real-to-life. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that good love is hard to find…and when you do, be it another man, woman, german shepherd, or crash-test dummy, just be happy. And if people were smart, they’d be happy for you rather than critical and judgmental. Your production will hopefully pass this message along to the ignorant masses. I, for one, will continue to enjoy every episode with the explicit hope that Rose and Vanessa actually break through the barriers that inhibit their relationship from blossoming.
All my love and respect for the crew!!!!

We’re totally going to host an Indiegogo campaign! I love the concept, and I love the idea of having rewards. Right now that’s the last step – is I’m sorting out the best we to create/ship rewards for sponsorship. My hope is to get it up and running before the end of this month. (no promises!)
Thank you for your interest and support!
[Reply]
Re:Indiegogo campaign . Can you please let me know what you’re going to do, and when? Also, what do you mean by create/ship rewards for sponsorship? Depending on the size of the rewards, here is the name of a man who has owned for a long time, a delivery service in Toronto and GTA and beyond. You may be able to make a deal with him.
Chuck VonZuben (yes, same last name: he’s my ex-husband)

If you have to leave a message, do so, but after a couple of hours call him again. Good luck.

Hello OWD-Team and actors
I’m from germany and I wish u the best for this project!
I think it’s a nice story about normal problems of gay ppls, that really should be!
I am very glad what u have done, really
Best regrades from central-germany
Remus <3
PS: Keep the story up, plz

Hello to the whole OWD-Team,
I’m from Germany, 33 yrs old, and the other day I’ve found your website and project over youtube.
Since I’d been watching the first minutes I’m totally into your webserie and the story
which is very convincing!
I’m looking forward to see more and will donate.
A tiny little thing I’ve got to say about the sound-mixing. Maybe it’s because it’s not my motherlanguage, sometimes, when the mic seems to be a little bit out of “position”, it becomes harder to understand. One voice is louder than the other. But that’s just a little thing.
Wish you all the best for the future and i’m looking forward to the continuing story!
Bye
Dani

Hi
Just wanted to say – Great show, really well produced. Hope it keeps going for multiple more series. I’ve found it very entertaining so far. I think the actors are outstanding, and at least some of them will make it big on a grander scale in the future, not to mention how well directed it is.
Also, I think I’m in love with Kate Conway’s dimples!!!

I’ve just spent my evening watch both series and I feel I can really relate to the storyline. All the thoughts and feelings of the characters’, I seem to have felt myself which has helped me feel more at ease with who I am. I would like to applaud all the team who have worked on this, its is so realistic and very well filmed.
Thank you.
