Your Dad Isn't Asking About Food.

My dad only texts me three words: "Did you eat?" For a year I answered "Busy." Then his texts stopped. An emotional animated short film about a father, a son living alone in a big city, and the "I love you" hidden inside a dad's simplest messages. No voiceover: the whole story is told through text messages, so it works with the sound off. If your mom or dad always asks "Did you eat?", "Reached home safely?" or "Wear a jacket", this one is for you. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 My dad only texts three words 0:18 A year of ignoring Dad's texts 1:00 Dad's side of the chat 1:30 11 days without a text 1:50 Sick and alone 2:15 I texted Dad first 2:40 Dinner with Dad 💬 What does YOUR parent always text you?
