And what filmmaker doesn’t want to be discovered and set on the fast track to a directing career? Motivated by a genuine love for film, Bob Hawk is the champion that filmmakers dream about! Directors whose careers he has nurtured and launched came out to thank Bob in Film Hawk, the Sundance documentary about his life.

Bob Hawk sat down with No Film School at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival to give us a little insight into what he’s learned after nearly four decades in the biz. Watch some of our conversation below!


I always am attracted to films that can resonate with people that are not "into" film.

Thank you, Bob!
