Our Best Year to Our Worst?

The Honolulu Advertiser's Michael Tsai talks to state film commissioner Donne Dawson about this year's failed film legislation. Says Dawson: "There is a lot of extreme disappointment, here and in Hollywood. There were a lot of projects waiting and watching to see what would happen. I'm not sure what the impact will be and how we'll go forward. This could mean that those projects now go elsewhere and we'd be up a creek....We have to do something, I just don't want to go from our best year in 2004 to our worst in 2005."
