I worked at WWE for a couple of years and have a bunch of buddies who've worked the indies at one point or another. Kayfabe is a really accurate portrait of that world. Here's the best part: because of my personal experience I spent a good portion of the early going reflecting on the stereotypes of that world. I only realized about half-way through that I'd totally invested in these characters.

There are some quibbles: I think some of the acting is a little flat and the pace could be quickened with some judicious editing. The "search for dad" beat feels a bit long. It feels like there might be some audio issues in the finale (though with the internet you can never tell if this was on my end).

Potential viewers: this is a really fun exploration of a world you may not be familiar with. It's quirky and occasionally very funny. At its core, Kayfabe is a movie with a lot of heart that confesses a true love of a career/lifestyle well off the beaten track.

AS Folks: while this isn't the kind of film WB would distribute, Magnolia, Strand Releasing or IFC Films could do a lot with this (all imho).
