Overview
A half-hour people-oriented program showcasing the dynamic and diverse film scene in Hawaii, and an opportunity to tell our own stories instead of letting others define us.
The format allows one 8-12 minute feature story, along with several smaller featurettes of varying lengths to fill out the half hour, titled Work in Progress, Point of View, and Island Profile. Short subjects will also be solicited from Hawaii's growing film community.
The show has a contemporary look with a brisk pace and colorful graphics.
