A very special thanks to our funders, sponsors, and friends: DYA, Pacific Islanders in Communicatons, HAYA Foundation, Visual Communications, SONY Pictures Entertainment, Pacific Islands Club, Delta Airlines, Rotary Club Sunrise Chapter, Gannette PDN Foundation, KUAM, Guahan Project, and West Post Digital.

Please scroll below for info about the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival. Contact: Alexcmunoz@gmail.com / bernieschumann@gmail.com PROGRAM 11 * 12:00 PM * DGA 2 YOUTH MEDIA INTRO Young filmmakers never fail to surprise us * their perspectives, burgeoning skills, and fresh take on the tried and true yield a never-ending crop of plucky, perceptive and astounding works. This group of seven new works, which takes us to Guam, New York, San Diego and points in between is no exception. If fact, you might just say that Youth Media goes world-wide at this year*s Festival, at least in the heart and in the mind. OUR PATH, OUR JOURNEY, OUR VOICE (Guam, 2009) Dirs.: A group of students at Guam's Department of Youth Affairs go against the grain and share their experiences as at-risk youths as they prepare to participate in a documentary film project sponsored by DYA and L.A.-based FYI: Films by Youth Inside. Two of the students, Andrew and Jennifer, reveal their perspectives on youth issues, incarceration, and the expectations from family, friends and society that compell them to illegal activities. Through their experiences working together with fellow classmates on a narrative short project, Andrew and Jennifer come to realize that through hard work and self-determination, they can grow beyond their respective circumstances and fulfill their potential. Video, 15 min., color, documentary ALL YOU NEED IS BIG AUNTIE (Guam, 2009) Dirs.: Youth at Guan DYA A young woman is confronted by a never-ending array of problems on the day that her family is served notice of eviction * her brother, wounded in a botched robbery attempt, is arrested; the rent money is stolen by two slacker brothers, and she is under pressure to accept a date with the local wannabe gangsta. It's up to the DINGA's no-nonsense Big Auntie, and a forest spirit, or duendas, to show her the right way to solving her problems. Video, 18 min., color, narrative -- Muñoz McCoy Media: Director's reel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iBgcu7yr9c Guam Feature Film :http://www.facebook.com/group.php? gid=490675300144&ref=ts http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0613011/

Waikiki 2010 - South Bay of Los Angeles County Type: Music/Arts - Performance Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010 Time: 7:00pm - 10:00pm Location: Redondo Beach, CA DescriptionOn Saturday 24 July 2010 at 7PM, Kumu Mark Keali`i Ho`omalu and the Academy of Hawaiian Arts (AHA) of Oakland, California will present "Waikiki" in Los Angeles County. Ticket price is $35. AHA will work with your or your organization. If you or your organization purchases a block of 100 tickets, then the Academy will donate $500 to your organization. Please message Melinda Manuel (admin of this group) or me for details. "Waikiki" is a Broadway-style hula musical tracing the history of our enchantment with Waikiki from pre-western contact through the beach boy era. "Waikiki" has been performed in several top venues in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Fukushima) at nearly a $100 per ticket, and the show made its American premiere in Northern California in November 2009. Waikiki has a long, colorful history. The first half of “Waikiki” recalls the natural beauty of the flowing springs, verdant groves, and rich fishing grounds as well as the battles, heroic adventures and everyday lives of the kings, queens, chiefs and commoners who made their homes there. The second half of “Waikiki” recalls the beach resort’s Golden Era (1920-1960)— the romantic atmosphere, elegant hotels, luaus, beach boys, surfing, dancing and chalangalang traditions. Audiences recognize Kumu Ho`omalu as the voice of Hawai`i from the movie "Lilo and Stitch". The hula kahiko (ancient hula) of “Waikiki” is choreographed by Kumu Ho`omalu and driven by the rhythms of his Hawaiian gourd drum, which is the heartbeat of AHA’s hula. AHA’s hula kahiko is powerful and vibrant, tracing its roots from Lua, the martial art of Hawai`i. “Waikiki” features both new and classic Hawaiian music.

Saturday, May 1 Hafa Adai Community Leaders, Respected Elders, Family, and Friends, I'm proud to announce that the two DYA films made on GUAM, ( and under the auspices of FYI FILMS) , will screen May 1st at the Directors Guild of America Theater 2 ( In Los Angeles) at 12:00 NOON as part of the LOS ANGELES ASIAN PACIFIC FILM FESTIVAL. It is quite an honor that the films were selected to open and close the film program. Congrats to the youth at DYA! Please forward and distribute. I'll send out a link for ticket purchase as soon as it is available. Hope you will consider attending! We will be hosting a HAFA ADAI HOLLYWOOD party immediately after the screening. More info is forthcoming. Below is info about the two short films. A very special thanks to our funders, sponsors, and friends: DYA, Pacific Islanders in Communicatons, HAYA Foundation, Visual Communications, SONY Pictures Entertainment, Pacific Islands Club, Delta Airlines, Rotary Club Sunrise Chapter, Gannette PDN Foundation, KUAM, Guahan Project, and West Post Digital. And also a huge thank you to FYI Project Director Marie Ada Auyong, and our very committed and hard working staff : Fanai Castro and Ben Salas. Please scroll below for info about the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival. Contact: Alexcmunoz@gmail.com / bernieschumann@gmail.com PROGRAM 11 * 12:00 PM * DGA 2 YOUTH MEDIA INTRO Young filmmakers never fail to surprise us * their perspectives, burgeoning skills, and fresh take on the tried and true yield a never-ending crop of plucky, perceptive and astounding works. This group of seven new works, which takes us to Guam, New York, San Diego and points in between is no exception. If fact, you might just say that Youth Media goes world-wide at this year*s Festival, at least in the heart and in the mind. OUR PATH, OUR JOURNEY, OUR VOICE (Guam, 2009) Dirs.: A group of students at Guam's Department of Youth Affairs go against the grain and share their experiences as at-risk youths as they prepare to participate in a documentary film project sponsored by DYA and L.A.-based FYI: Films by Youth Inside. Two of the students, Andrew and Jennifer, reveal their perspectives on youth issues, incarceration, and the expectations from family, friends and society that compell them to illegal activities. Through their experiences working together with fellow classmates on a narrative short project, Andrew and Jennifer come to realize that through hard work and self-determination, they can grow beyond their respective circumstances and fulfill their potential. Video, 15 min., color, documentary ALL YOU NEED IS BIG AUNTIE (Guam, 2009) Dirs.: Youth at Guan DYA A young woman is confronted by a never-ending array of problems on the day that her family is served notice of eviction * her brother, wounded in a botched robbery attempt, is arrested; the rent money is stolen by two slacker brothers, and she is under pressure to accept a date with the local wannabe gangsta. It's up to the DINGA's no-nonsense Big Auntie, and a forest spirit, or duendas, to show her the right way to solving her problems.

Waikiki 2010 - South Bay of Los Angeles County Type: Music/Arts - Performance Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010 Time: 7:00pm - 10:00pm Location: Redondo Beach, CA DescriptionOn Saturday 24 July 2010 at 7PM, Kumu Mark Keali`i Ho`omalu and the Academy of Hawaiian Arts (AHA) of Oakland, California will present "Waikiki" in Los Angeles County. Ticket price is $35. AHA will work with your or your organization. If you or your organization purchases a block of 100 tickets, then the Academy will donate $500 to your organization. Please message Melinda Manuel (admin of this group) or me for details. "Waikiki" is a Broadway-style hula musical tracing the history of our enchantment with Waikiki from pre-western contact through the beach boy era. "Waikiki" has been performed in several top venues in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Fukushima) at nearly a $100 per ticket, and the show made its American premiere in Northern California in November 2009. Waikiki has a long, colorful history. The first half of “Waikiki” recalls the natural beauty of the flowing springs, verdant groves, and rich fishing grounds as well as the battles, heroic adventures and everyday lives of the kings, queens, chiefs and commoners who made their homes there. The second half of “Waikiki” recalls the beach resort’s Golden Era (1920-1960)— the romantic atmosphere, elegant hotels, luaus, beach boys, surfing, dancing and chalangalang traditions. Audiences recognize Kumu Ho`omalu as the voice of Hawai`i from the movie "Lilo and Stitch". The hula kahiko (ancient hula) of “Waikiki” is choreographed by Kumu Ho`omalu and driven by the rhythms of his Hawaiian gourd drum, which is the heartbeat of AHA’s hula. AHA’s hula kahiko is powerful and vibrant, tracing its roots from Lua, the martial art of Hawai`i. “Waikiki” features both new and classic Hawaiian music. The hula `auana (modern hula) of the show is accompanied by Kumu Ho`omalu on `ukelele, Kihei Nahele-a and Mark Yamanaka on guitars, Ray Bambao on upright bass, and Aldon Sanders on piano.
