Out With Dad is a Canadian web series created, written, directed, and produced by Jason Leaver. The series is about a teenage lesbian named Rose and the process of her coming out to her single father. It has won various web series awards and has screened at numerous festivals, including the Los Angeles Web Series Festival and the Marseilles Web Fest.

As of January 2016, the series has over 30,000 subscribers and has been viewed over 20 million times on YouTube.[1][2]

Background

The series was initially released in 2010 and is filmed in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It currently streams on several online platforms, including Blip, Dailymotion and YouTube. The series shines a spotlight on the challenges of people in the LGBT community, specifically lesbians facing homophobia.[3]

In 2011, the series was given an official endorsement by PFLAG Canada.[4]

Since the conclusion of its third season, the series has been funded solely by fans through the online funding platform Patreon.[5]

Multi-lingual

Some fans take upon it themselves to publish subtitles for the episodes on YouTube in many different languages,[6] namely:[7]

A deal with France Televisions led to the dubbing in French of the webseries, by its subsidiary MFP, for the broadcasting on France 4 channel of the episodes 1.01 to 3.06.[8]
