Big fish. Small film.

MAISA: OFFICIAL HIFF SELECTION & LITTLE PICTURE AWARD

Brian Watanabe November 7, 2016

Good news: the short, animated film I wrote, "Maisa, the Chamoru Girl who Saves Guhan" was named an official selection at the Hawaii International Film Festival.

Better news: Maisa was also just named best short film (Liklik Piksa - Little Picture Award) at the Pasifika Film Fest.

Best news: I'm writing again.

Check out "Maisa" at the the Hawaii International Film Festival, Pacific Showcase Shorts program.

#NewWorkWednesday! If you watched the @merriemonarchfestival you may have caught our new spot for @kamehamehaschools. There are worse jobs than waking up at 3:30am to shoot multiple sunrises. ☀️🕶☀️ Mahalo to @jacob_chinn_photography for the beautiful images, all-star @the_chiho, Andrea Kanno, the entire KS team (shout out to @jessjessmalia for doing double-duty as our pro voiceover), all the ‘ōiwi leader volunteer talent who woke up with us, and my great post-team, @debratorial and @carpaltunneldiem (for the amazing color) at @montajnine and @rossok808 at @posthub808. This is the ‘ōlelo Hawai’i version (volume up!). You can hear the English version at @Brianwatanabe. 🎬☀️🎥 Repost from @kamehamehaschools • E ala e nā alakaʻi ʻōiwi, e ala e ka lāhui. Driven by their passion, led by their values and grounded in their Hawaiian identity, ‘ōiwi leaders strive to create a better Hawai‘i and a better world. We celebrate their commitment to helping our lāhui rise. #oiwileaders #oiwileadership #imuakamehameha #kamehamehaschools
