“Anyone who watches Dear Audrey will undoubtedly conclude that Hayes is a masterful filmmaker.” – Charlie Smith, The Georgia Straight
“Dear Audrey is the kind of film that Indy Film Fest audiences will love… emotionally honest stories that inspire not by manipulation but by human beings fumbling their way toward something beautiful even when life gets really, really challenging.”– Richard Propes, The Independent Critic
