"The bottom line: Deserves a medal. Olympic Dreams is a refreshing and confident piece of work. Teicher, as well as both Pappas and Kroll, are up to the challenge a movie like this presents, and the success of their collaboration shines onscreen."
- The Hollywood Reporter
"I wish I could watch it again every day. Olympic Dreams was something truly special." - Flixist

- The Moveable Fest
"The very nature of how this film was made, where it was shot, and the story of is production (which is essential to understanding the power of the whole thing) makes this movie a must-see ... a profound accomplishment."

Distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films & Orion Pictures.
"A winning, winsome comedy. Handed its world premiere at the LA Film Festival, the sweet indie, about a driven young competitive runner who is forced to take a rare day off, serves as a sparkling showcase for endearing lead Alexi Pappas, who also splits directing and writing duties with Jeremy Teicher"
- The Hollywood Reporter
"Tracktown [is] an indie film akin to Juno or Superbad — suburbanesque landscapes, twinkling homemade soundtrack, and a character who comes of age both in response to and in rebellion against the sport she loves so much."
- New York Magazine
"A refreshing new entry into the sports genre, one steeped in intimate human stakes while also acting as a sharp contrast to the testosterone and masculinity that has overcrowded the scene for so long.... The film is an entertaining mix of warmth, humor and quirk that’s easily worth cheering for" - Cromeyellow
