Critical reception
Authentic Films received praise from SHOOT for their 2008 campaign for the Akron Children's Hospital which focused on cancer patients who were being treated at the hospital. The 2008 ad campaign was called "moving," and a 2009 follow-up built on the success of the first series of ads for the hospital.
