In today's pop culture, the phenomenon of sugar daddies has gained immense popularity, especially within the LGBTQ community.

Director of Photography Allyson Estrada, Production Designer Jocelyn Ramos, and Composer Christian Engquist have combined their talents to create a visually stunning and emotionally resonant cinematic experience. "Daddy" is a testament to the dedication and creativity of this exceptional team, promising to captivate audiences with its gripping storytelling and haunting visuals.
Jay Beckett, an accomplished actor, director, and filmmaker, brings his unique perspective to "Daddy." Originally from Lima, Peru, Beckett's journey in the entertainment industry began as an actor, starring in numerous short films and theatre productions.
