EXCLUSIVE: Actor and producer Daniel Dae Kim has come on board to executive produce Makawalu, a feature film initiated by Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF), entirely created and to be co-directed by eight Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) filmmakers.
The project, the largest budgeted indie feature entirely created by Kanaka Maoli talent, is fully funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Asian American Foundation (TAAF), and Pacific Islanders in Communication (PIC).
More than 90% of the project’s financing comes from organisations invested in change that are based outside Hawaii. Currently in pre-production, the feature starts shooting in spring 2025 for an early 2026 release.
The eight filmmakers are Justyn Ah Chong, Taylour Chang, Ty Sanga, Ciara Lacy, Āina Paikai, Erin Lau, Scott W. Kekama Amona and Katherine Wong.
