Aloha pumehana mai kākou!

It will feature panelists Nāʻālehu Anthony (Founder, Palikū Films and Co-founder, ʻŌiwi TV), Dr. Hailiʻōpua Baker (Director, UHM Theatre Program and Ka Hālau Hanakeaka), Heather Haunani Giugini (Co-Founder of ʻUluʻulu, Hawaiʻi’s Moving Archive, and Creative, Rock Salt Media), Ty Sanga (Independent Director/Writer/Filmmaker) and Donne Dawson (Hawaiʻi State Film Commissioner).

This event will be filmed, and highlights will be available to the public in a few weeks (no live-stream).

E hele mai nō -- mahalo!
