Doing It For Daddy 2025

Directed by Ayanna Dozier

Doing it For Daddy is a double 8mm film printed onto 16mm film that considers how the types of gendered service labor expected of women in institutions and relationships overlap. Taking a cue from both the biographical experience of the director's own upbringing in a Christian fundamentalist church and later relationship with sex work as well as Madonna's influential "Like a Prayer," it examines the psychological implications of modeling acts of service to men as an extension of how you serve God (on your knees).
