Description

My Heart Belongs to Daddy is the third in a trilogy of experimental videos (Mad About the Boy and Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man). This third video uses text, archival movie footage, interviews and fantasy sequences to examine the correlation between the director's relationship with her "real" father and the search for "dyke-daddy." With cameo appearances from Rose Trouche, Robin Vachal, and Exum.
