Warning: Shameless Self-Promotion

The Honolulu Advertiser's Michael Tsai did a "Films with Hawaii ties" round-up today, recommending 4 films: Lane Nishikawa's "Only the Brave" (Sat, 7 pm, Hualalai Cinemas in Kona + 11/4, 7:30pm, Palace Theatre in Hilo.), Cam Eason's "True Love and Mimosa Tea" (tomorrow, 8pm, Dole) Eddie Kamae's "Keepers of the Flame" (tomorrow, 6:15pm, Hawaii Theater), and Andrew Bujalski's "Mutual Appreciation" (tonight, 7:30pm, Dole), co-produced by yours truly [Note: This film was shot 2 years ago in NYC, way before I joined the Hawaii Film Office.] Another Hawaii connection for "Mutual Appreciation" is sound mixer Eric Masunaga, Punahou graduate and former guitarist for local rock band The Dambuilders.

Mike Tsai also did a feature on "Tre," directed and co-written by Moanalua grad Eric Byler, and co-written by Mid-Pac grad Kimberly-Rose Wolter.
