Filmmaker Statement

I was instantly struck and connected to the story of Hawkeye Elvis. I was a student at the University of Iowa when I first learned about him. His story somewhat fell into my lap even though I had moved halfway across the country to pursue a career in film. I had to explore this story as my grandmother was also wrestling with dementia. My mother told me stories of her most recent visit. She explained why she was visiting that she no longer knew her name or how they were related. As I listened to my mother detail that experience, this project became about something much more than just a man who is an Elvis impersonator attending college football games.
