The Father Who Stayed (TFWS) is a feature-length music-driven cinematic experience about a single father mourning the loss of his only child, daughter Emily Rose. But it is also the story of life and death in America as told by those who have passed on.

Parts “Our Town” and “Spoon River Anthology”, and part “The Last Waltz”, The Father Who Stayed is the story of life, told in 27 Songs.
