Hawaii Films Get SFIAAFF Awards

The 25th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival just announced its award winners, and among them were two films with Hawaii ties: Lisette Flanary's "Na Kamalei: The Men of Hula" nabbed the Comcast Audience Award for Documentary Feature, and "Tre" directed by Eric Byler and starring Kimberly Rose-Wolter got a Special Jury Award.

"Na Kamalei" documents Robert Cazimero's all-male hula halau (school) and "Tre" is Byler's third feature-film foray into the realm of dysfunctional romantic/sexual relationships.
