The next Huliko‘a Kaiāulu Scholar Speaker Series event will feature a discussion on using digital media to tell stories. The featured speakers – Nicholas Smith and Dezalynn Tiell – are alumni of Waiʻanae High School’s nationally acclaimed digital media program, Searider Productions.
The event takes place on Tuesday, October 20 at the Community Learning Center at Mā‘ili (CLC-M), and is free and open to the public.
Smith will present “Utilizing Digital Media to Tell Our Stories." Smith will share his thoughts on how to create an open dialogue with your community and the world, using the media-gathering tools available.
“Our stories must be told, and we have the power to do so at our fingertips,” says Smith.
Smith holds a bachelor’s degree in digital filmmaking and video production from The Art Institute of California – Los Angeles. He currently serves as a digital storyteller for the Institute for Native Pacific Education and Culture (INPEACE).
This month’s student reflection will be offered by Tiell, who is currently attending Leeward Community College. She will share her experience in video production, interning with Mākaha Studios and her aspirations for the future.
The event starts at 5:30 p.m. A free, simple dinner will be served and childcare will be provided. An RSVP is appreciated. Call 670-2045 or email kapua@ksbe.edu to confirm your attendance. CLC-M is located at 87-790 Kulauku St. in Mā‘ili.
Huliko‘a Kaiāulu was created as an opportunity for the community to celebrate the pursuit of higher education and listen to scholars from the Wai‘anae Coast share their mana‘o, while learning more about topics that impact their lives as residents of the region.
The series is sponsored by Kamehameha Schools, INPEACE, the UH Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge and MA‘O Organic Farms. Future presentations are scheduled for Feb. 16, March 15 and April 19.
This is the series’ third year. Many of the presentations from previous two years are available for viewing on the Kamehameha Schools YouTube channel.
