Writer and filmmaker Gary Hawkins was born and raised on a farm in Trinity, North Carolina. His documentary, The Rough South of Harry Crews, debuted on UNC-TV in 1989, and went on to win an Emmy Award. His next Rough South entry was The Rough South of Larry Brown. Production on the Rough South entry on Jim Grimsley went unfinished in 1994. Hawkins' jazz documentary, In My Mind, premiered at the Kennedy Center in 2010. In My Mind is a collaboration with jazz pianist Jason Moran that deconstructs his tribute to Thelonious Monk's Town Hall concert. Hawkins is one of the original founders of the UNC School of Filmmaking, and has taught at the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Center for Documentary Studies, and Duke University.
