Hello, Bookstore is ultimately a profile of a man as much as it is a document of a place; Zax knows that the man is the place. And vice versa. What a thrill to root for an everyday hero.

A landmark in Lenox, Massachusetts, The Bookstore is a magical, beatnik gem thanks to its owner Matt Tannenbaum, whose passion for stories runs deep. Citizens of the small town rally together to protect the small business from failure when the pandemic threatens to shut down the store.

What are critics saying?
Zax’s gentle, fly-on-the-wall perspective keeps us primarily in the present, reminding us that all we need is right there inside the shop.
The New York Times by Lisa Kennedy
Tannenbaum’s fondness for his store and its wares is a beautiful thing to behold, even at its most vulnerable.
Hello, Bookstore is a salute to the sacramental qualities of art that are threaded through everyday life.
