Coming soon, The Big Flip—Stories from the Modern Home Front is a documentary film that explores the struggles and triumphs of families where mom wins the bread and dad mans the home front. Over 18 months, we follow 4 families with breadwinner moms and stay-at-home dads.
Beyond the film, we want this to be a movement to challenge gender limits on our expectations of what men and women should do and can do. In addition to female breadwinners and at-home dads, we explore issues relevant to working moms, and modern dads, topics like feminism, new masculinity, modern parenting, gender roles, gender bias, gender equality, and gender parity.
This is an independent film driven by women filmmakers—a female director, a female photographer-in-chief—and crowdfunded by a majority of female funders.
In Pew’s Research Report on Breadwinner Moms, they point out that many people believe that it’s harder for marriage to succeed when women are the main financial provider in the family. But why? That’s one of the central questions we want to understand in The Big Flip.
