| User ReviewShawn RBeautifully shot. very interesting subject. Great doc. |
| User ReviewMaryellen CI thought the film showed the struggle of Derick as a person and an artist and how he was able to use that struggle to develope a style in his art work that was so unique from other artists. I really enjoyed it. |
| User ReviewTony CA journey through awesomeness with a true artist. Highly recommended, and a great watch for any fan of the arts or documentaries. |
| User ReviewTracy MThe cinematography of this film was amazing. It truly captured the essence of Cleveland and the work and life of one of our beloved icons - Derek Hess. The flow of the film, the interviews and every detail was clearly very well thought out and expertly executed. |
| User ReviewKevin OSaw this at the Beverly Hills film fest. Growing up in a grunge band in Cleveland I'm very familiar with Derek's work but I had no idea of the life he lived. Very well done on every level! If you love badass art or you're a product of the 90's it's a must watch! |
| User ReviewJohn MI saw this powerful film at the Cleveland International Film Festival this year and was blown away. The best film I saw at the festival. A mesmerizing journey that is not to be missed. |
