A tribute to indie film consultant Bob Hawk, who gave filmmakers like Kevin Smith a leg up.

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

Some of the filmmaking is downright amateurish, but it's tough to hold such momentary fissures against a film, and subject, this likable.

Variety

If the doc weren't about him, it's easy to imagine that Hawk, in his professional capacity, would come back with pages of handwritten notes about it.

Indie Mac User

It is clear the influence that Hawk has had on many artists and people throughout his storied career; however perhaps more interestingly we get a peek at the more personal story of the man himself...

Rated: 4/5
