(ZENIT News / Hollywood, 10.06.2026).- Nearly half of America is single today – and many would rather not be. But, as a culture, we’ve lost the plot of how dating works.
Especially for young Catholics seeking to build a lasting marriage and family, it’s hard to even know how to begin … but there’s a film that offers answers to just that.
The Dating Project is now streaming free on EWTN’s new on-demand digital platform EWTN+. The film combines heartfelt stories of singles – men and women, ages 18-40 – with practical, actionable strategies geared for, not the romcom world, but the real world.
Launching the same day is Dating Decoded: Beyond The Dating Project, a new YouTube series that dives deeper into the film’s themes, featuring unseen footage shot for the film.
Produced by Catholics, The Dating Project features the work of Catholic Boston College scholar Dr. Kerry Cronin, whose simple “Dating Assignment” has become a campus legend: ask someone out, face-to-face, for an actual date.
“The film offers viewers hope, inspiration and tools for navigating the relationship landscape,” said The Dating Project writer/producer Megan Harrington.
“The most important documentary in recent years,” said author and relationship expert Suzanne Venker upon the film’s release.
The film, YouTube series, and free dating downloads are at www.TheDatingProjectMovie.com
Producing partners for The Dating Project are Mpower Pictures, Paulist Productions and Family Theater Productions, a Catholic media company in Hollywood, California.
FTP’s National Director, Father David. L. Guffey, C.S.C., said, “As a priest, almost every week I hear people’s stories of how difficult it is to find people to date with the possibility of long-term commitment.
«The Dating Project documentary addresses the challenges but also offers support for dating in a new way that includes many traditional customs. It is hope for those who long to date. Strong families are rooted in solid marriages.
“Solid marriages begin with sound dating and courtship. The Dating Project offers ideas and support for dating with dignity and confidence.”
The Dating Project film and companion YouTube series are at www.TheDatingProjectMovie.com
