Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers (2020) Synopsis

Director's Statement from Ryan Barton-Grimley, AKA - RBG, director of Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers. "So why the heck did I make HAWK AND REV: VAMPIRE SLAYERS? Honestly...The world is just so serious and it's exhausting being tapped into media and technology 24 hours a day. It's really intense how many issues are happening around the world. There are so many problems everywhere and please don't hate me for saying this, but - I was looking for an escape. I was looking for a laugh and something truly heartfelt, some much-needed levity and humor. I was looking for a break. So I selfishly made HAWK AND REV: VAMPIRE SLAYERS. It is quite simply a love letter to my childhood in the mid-1980's, a more innocent and clueless time when everything seemed possible and like it would turn out OK. It's a love letter to goofy weirdos with big dreams and ridiculous ideas. It's just plain old-fashioned escapism. Sure, there are themes and morals and critiques of the '80s, but at the end of the day, I really just hope you enjoy the ride and leave with a nice heartfelt feeling and the knowledge that maybe...just maybe...we'll all be OK."—Ryan Barton-Grimley, AKA...
