Haliey Welch, aka the 'Hawk Tuah Girl,' has had quite a special year since she rose to prominence. From becoming a meme to eventually releasing her own meme-coin, her story is one of instant fame and shows how social media can change your life forever. Her rags-to-riches story is set to be immortalized soon in documentary form, as production is already underway to bring her story to the big screen.
Fans react hilariously as production for Hawk Tuah Girl's documentary is reportedly underway
Yes, you heard that right. Emmy-winning production company Bungalow Media + Entertainment, of 'Cyber Sleuths: The Idaho Murders’ and ‘Surviving Jeffrey Epstein’ fame, is being tasked with getting the production underway. The documentary for the Hawk Tuah girl is reportedly in the works and will chronicle her journey from a random street interview to a cultural icon.
The announcement was met with great fanfare on X as fans went gaga with their over-the-top reactions. Social media became a hornet's nest of theories as fans debated the possible direction the documentary—nay, the cinematic masterpiece—would take. Fans came up with hilarious names for the upcoming documentary, which had the internet in splits:

When news dropped that Haliey Welch was getting her very own documentary, the internet didn’t just erupt—it erupted with shade. Fans mocked the very concept of the documentary itself—suggesting there was nothing more left to discover. Others speculated wildly about the runtime, suggesting it’d be exactly as long as her viral moment lasted—five seconds.
Netizens ran amok with their mocking as they turned the event into a full-blown roast festival:
"The historians in 2084 are gonna have a field day with this one", joked one fan (via @yipfella/X)
"I watched a 10 min YouTube on her and it covered everything???", remarked another (via @ninenerdyards/X)
Netizens were still in disbelief at the absurd announcement and showed a united front in launching a scathing attack on the Hawk Tuah girl. The crypto crash only added fuel to the absurdity. Some fans wondered if the documentary was planned as a tax write-off, while others wondered if April Fool's Day had come early and this was all just an elaborate prank:
"We are truly living in the most unserious timeline", commented one fan (via @szaseiji/X)
"Too early for an April Fools joke", said another baffled fan (via X / @BelltayneRavenna/X)
The studio that is going to undertake the project also came under the line of fire, especially considering the fine body of work it has behind it.
"Dont think its ever a good sign if a studio that made a docu about jeffery epstien victims is making one about you", quipped one fan (via X / @Kay_wav3)
As always, the internet was divided in its theorizing as some fans wondered if the decision was perhaps a lapse in judgment, while others wondered aloud if they mistook the Hawk Tuah girl for someone else entirely. Or maybe the studio has run out of ideas after all!
Amidst the chaos, the gaming community also got its moment under the sun as they couldn't believe they even got an update about the Hawk Tuah girl documentary before the release of their favorite video games:
"Hawk Tuah documentary before GTA 6", lamented one fan (via X / @slotslv)
The Hawk Tuah hype train shows no signs of stopping any time soon, as even a documentary has been announced to celebrate the fateful day when Haliey Welch became a meme icon. No one quite knows why her dialogue resonated quite so deeply with the masses, but the internet is showing a united front to remain in the darkness and not know its cultural significance.
The documentary promises to give a never-seen-before perspective to the Hawk Tuah girl's story, perhaps littered with comedic commentary and slow-motion shots of her spitting. Until there are further updates on the project, the world remains divided—half of us are laughing, and the other half are still trying to unhear that viral interview.
