January 24, 2025 - Embark on a captivating musical journey weaving three compelling stories from Hawai‘i's Korean diaspora with performances by remarkable musicians, including the Grammy Award-winning violist Richard Yongjae O'Neill, the world renowned violinists Chee-Yun and Ignace Jang, and Keola Beamer. Songs of Love from Hawai‘i weaves together three stories from the long history of Korean diaspora in Hawai‘i, blending historical narratives with soul-stirring musical performances. From the fascinating tapestry of Korean immigrant history in Hawai‘i to a poignant life of Lim Ok Soon, a young Korean woman who came to Hawai‘i in 1912 as a picture bride, to a heartfelt musical tribute to the souls who found their resting place in Molokai's Kalaupapa, the film weaves a powerful elegy amidst the islands' natural beauty. After premiering at the 43rd Hawaii International Film Festival and airing on PBS Hawai‘i, the film had a successful nationwide theatrical run in Korea in 2024. On Korean American Day, join us for a conversation with filmmaker Jinyoung Lee.

They talk about Brucesploitation as a classic supply and demand scenario (powered by "all-look-same" racism), their favorite Bruce lookalikes -- Li, Le, Liang, et al -- and the wildest phases of the Bruce Multiverse.

Kacie calls us about a guy named Chase that she met on Hinge. He seemed like a decent enough guy and she liked that they enjoyed the same type of hobbies like art, movies, etc. So they decided to go to the movies together to check out one of the films from the Hawaii International Film Festival this past weekend. The movie was great and it seemed like they had a really fun time! But some time has passed after their date, and he hasn't called or texted her since — even though he said he would. She wants to see what his deal is. Follow us on Instagram: @thekeolashow Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheKeolaShow

What an amazing time having a chat with the incredible Ana Lily Amirpour. British-born American film director, producer, actor, writer and editor for her critically acclaimed films "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" (starring Sheila Vand and Arash Marandi), "The Bad Batch" (starring Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves) and up coming film "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon" (starring Kate Hudson, Ed Skrein, Craig Robinson and Jun Jong Seo). Her film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" (2014) was described as "the first Iranian vampire spaghetti western" premiered at Sundance Film Festival, and won awards such as the Revelations Prize in 2014, the Carnet Jove Jury Award, nominated for the Halekulani Golden Orchid award at the Hawaii International Film Festival and Lily has since been called "the next Tarantino" by VICE creative director Eddy Moretti. Basically she is an absolute BAD ASS creating the most INCREDIBLE pieces of art. Her next film "The Bad Batch" (2016) is to this day one of my favourite films and in 2016 won the Special Jury Prize at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival where it premiered (an absolute must watch!) I have been a HUGE fan of her work since I fell in love with The Bad Batch a few years back, and am waiting excitedly for her up and coming project releasing soon, "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon". Lily thank you for coming on the show and giving me your time and knowledge, I am immensely inspired by you and your work. Instagram Ana Lily Amirpour Joshua Eady

This episode we have an amazing treat chatting with Jason Chan. I first met Jason nearly 20 years ago in Sydney and you'll hear all about our chance meeting in the podcast. But first let me tell you a little more about him and why you'll want to stick around for this. He's a trained pianist, dancer, doctor and actor, and got his first taste of real world entertainment success straight out of acting school when he was cast as a Co-host for Playhouse Disney before landing a role that has since achieved cult status - that of as the green power ranger. Shortly after he moved to Singapore, acted for film, theatre and TV as well as hosting segments for the China Olympics in 2008 for Singapore's Mediacorp Channel 5. in 2012 he started his own production company with his friend and business partner Christian Lee, starting off servicing corporate clients before eventually focusing to produce their own content. They have since trail blazed a path in the new media, winning numerous awards in the new streaming space, starting with What do Men Want on Toggle which was simulaneously broadcast to TV, followed up by a web series - Perfect Girl, which eventually got picked up by Viki and the holy grail of modern media - Netflix. Jason then went on to co-produce their first independently financed feature film Jimami Tofu, which won the audience choice award for best feature film at the Hawaii International Film Festival and currently has a not to be scoffed at 8.4 rating on IMDB. Jimami Tofu also has the distinct achievement of being the longest running film screened in Singapore. Most recently he has co-founded a new company with Christian - Cinewav - to allow anyone to experience the full magic of cinema anywhere with just a projector, laptop and mobile phone, effectively giving film makers the ability of getting their films seen in the way they wanted - on the big screen with perfect audio ANYWHERE that even fully decked out cinemas cannot match. Groundbreaking, game changing stuff.

Ainu Mosir is a documentary that is currently being featured virtually in several film festivals around the country including the 2020 Hawaii International Film Festival. The film has also been picked up by Array Releasing for distribution and will premiere on Netflix on Tuesday, November 17th. Director Takeshi Fukunaga generously took some time to talk about the movie and to explain why telling a story about the Ainu people is so important as their culture and language has been slowly fading away.

Imagine this: You see a film that fosters such big thoughts and ideas that you have to share it with others, and discuss! That's the idea behind Tracy Nguyen-Chung and Ciara Lacy's work. In ‘Connection,’ both filmmakers follow Autumn Harry, a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, on her journey as a fly-fisher. Along the way, they bring to the forefront the multitude of connections intersecting with and highlighted by our experiences on the water. In this episode we talk about the importance of these connections and some of the prevalent stereotypes in fishing and how to change them. 1:00 Humanities Montana - check out their 'Gather Round' toolkit -- it's meant to inspire big discussions that matter to people in the great outdoors (well, all of us) 5:00 The art of telling a culturally specific story that resonates universally 7:00 From Vietnam to the U.S., a father's passion for fishing is passed along to his daughter, Tracy 8:30 And in Hawaii, Ciara grew up in a 'catch and release' family when it came to tilapia... which has oddly made a comeback in fine dining 10:00 Tracy and Ciara's film is "Connection", it started with a vision to uplift the image of people of color in fishing. It's the story of an indigenous woman and her discovery of fly-fishing. 14:00 Connections... to geography, to culture, to water, to environment, to self 17:00 Brown Folks Fishing - most storytelling is through Insta; it's a volunteer-run non-profit to gather and support a community of BIPOC anglers 19:00 Growing up in a family hobby, like fishing, and then promptly leaving it during college... and making a full circle as an adult 21:00 Public-facing parts of the fishing community -- industry, Insta profiles, groups, etc -- they're predominantly white (and male). The conservation space is similar. 24:00 People from BIPOC communities are totally out there fishing (hugely!), but they're just not represented in most of the industry 26:00 Two privileged and flawed points of view from naysayers: fishing is a place where we should go to 'escape' and BIPOC anglers don't exist in this space unless it's affordable. 28:00 Storytelling as an advocacy tool. For Ciara, it started with seeing her mom as an organizer for the Native Hawaiian community 30:00 Part of good storytelling is letting people know what they should be thinking about... those life challenges that slip the radar for some. (Pssst... that's what the 'Gather Round' toolkits are all about!) 36:00 What even IS a 'conservation angler'? It’s not something that’s automatically given to you the minute you step into the river. It takes intention and practice. 40:00 Spin-fishing: it's totally cool, everyone! 45:00 'Connections' the film started as a passion project... its trajectory has far surpassed early expectations 47:30 Adventures from documentary filmmaking: Getting an inmate a last-minute bouquet of flowers on his release day so he could give them to his fiancée. 49:00 On being human first, filmmaker second 50:30 "Out of State" documentary, which first aired on PBS 51:00 Find Ciara's work at CiaraLacy.com 52:00 Making fishing films?

We aired the 10 April 2011 Vietnamese International Film Festival Filmmakers' Panel Discussion on "Expanding the Audience Base" that took place at UC Irvine. Panelists were: Anderson Le, director of programming at the Hawaii International Film Festival; Ann Le, with international division of Universal Pictures; Charlie Nguyen, director of The Rebel; Fool for Love; James Nguyen, director/writer, Birdemic: Shock and Terror; Jenni Trang Le, Assistant Director, Bi, Don't Be Afraid, and of Clash; Khoa Do, Director/Writer, Footy Legends, Mother Fish; Le Thanh Son, director/writer, Clash, and Nguyen Nu Nhu Khue, producer with HK Films in Vietnam.

This special edition of “The Transmission” shares audio from the Hawaii International Film Festival’s “Celebration of LOST.” Specifically, “Master Class 3: Costume and Props.” The panel featured costume designer Roland Sanchez and Property Master Robert Kyker, and was moderated by HIFF program director Anderson Le. This session, Jen’s favorite of the three, featured the most audience Q&A… but that means more of the audio may be hard to hear. Even so, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the colorful stories.
