[1] Jack Hand (Blake DeLong) is a hustling music manager of a hip-hop artist and an indie rock band.

Jack’s estranged musician father, James Hand, is a respected but reclusive songwriter living and working in Austin.

[2] After seeing James Hand perform in Austin, Muir said he decided to base a character on him: I walked into a usual haunt on a Tuesday night and saw the most incredible live show of my life.

Austin Film Society-published site, Slackerwood, praised writer/director Muir and noted that DeLong and Hand had a chemistry that was "hilariously realistic".
