Scott Berkun wrote a review of Girl Walk // All Day on his blog:
The soundtrack for the film is a marvel in itself. Created by Gregg Gillis, it is comprised of a continuous remix of hundreds of famous songs from the last 20 years. Combined with the improvisational nature of the film, it’s a perfect mix of surprise and familiarity.
I was thrice inspired:
It begs the question: what can I do with $25k and 50 days? It should beg that question of anyone who daydreams about ‘what they could do if they got a chance’ while bored out of their minds at work – it proves how easily you can make your own opportunity. If you don’t invest in your own ideas, how can you expect someone else to?
Tech Entrepreneur Amanda Peyton wrote an incredibly on-point blog post about how Girl Walk // All Day represents the future of entertainment and true innovation in the creative process. She captures so much of what we’ve been trying to create — it’s fantastic for our team to see these efforts and ideas being recognized.
Their premiere party was months ago and I still think about how awesome it was. And then I realized — what makes G.W.A.D. so cool is that they didn’t simply re-invent some genre or innovate on some tiny piece of the market (vampire movie with OLD PEOPLE, for example). Whether they intended it or not, director Jacob Krupnick and the rest of the crew innovated on so many parts of the process that they were able to truly create a new type of experience.
…
In addition to exploring new ways to fund, storytell and market, the final piece of G.W.A.D.’s innovation lies in the experience of actually consuming the film. While you can always watch it on your laptop, the group has been hosting its own events, showing the film in open spaces.
This is perhaps the most compelling change that they’ve made to the typical movie experience.

Rick Marianetti of the Examiner, reviews Girl Walk // All Day in advance of the 14th Annual San Francisco Independent Film Festival, where we’ll be screening the film twice, on Sunday, February 19th at Public Works with an after party with CHERYL from NYC and a special performance by John Doyle (details + tickets) and on Thursday, February 23rd at Roxie Theater (details + tickets).
When Krupnick unleashes his improvisational cavalcade upon the streets of New York, it’s like watching a somnambulant culture unexpectedly punctured by an alternate universe. People are annoyed, amused, defensive – Marsen really is evicted from Yankee Stadium. Others are so afflicted byattention blindnessthat Marsen and her cohorts are rendered invisible.
Girl Walk // All Day is much more than a long-form video; it is a must-see event that reawakens the joy of being alive.
