Aloha, a second award for "Tah-Dah"!

I have to agree with a close friend who recently said to me in excitement: "I can't believe how much you have been able to squeeze out of that little film!" Neither can I!

I have just been informed that, "Your film has been chosen to receive the Aloha Accolade Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2010 Honolulu International Film Festival. The Festival will take place April 24th and 25th, 2010 in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort at Spa."


My film won in the Student Film category, how exciting! I am honored. If only I could figure a way of going to accept the award.....hmmmmm... :)

Aloha, Animation workshops!

Here are a couple [rather rough] quick snippets of videos that Tams took whilst Andrew [Marshel] and I taught the animation workshops out in Kaua'i, Hawaii last week.





What an amazing time; the wide-eyed kidlets with their pencils brings everything back to perspective! :)

Teaching animation in Kaua'i!

I am enjoying the last couple days we have here in gooooorrrrgeous Kaua'i, Hawaii, but I thought I would post a few pics of my experiences teaching a few animation workshops with my newfound pal, Andrew Marshel! We met out here in Kaua'i for the LA Intl Children's Film Fest, as both of our films were screening there.

We had a BLAST teaching the 7 different workshops over the festival weekend, but the best part was seeing how excitedly all the kids responded. It makes everything SO worth it!













More updates to come.
Muhalo!

Aloha, "Tah-Dah"!

I have been riding this rollercoaster of wonderfulness ever since graduating in April with my film, "Tah-Dah", and I never could have predicted all the amazing places this film has taken me since then! I am sooooo blessed!

The newest development: I am going to Hawaii!!

Well, the island of Kauai, to be exact. I got invited through the Los Angeles Intl Childrens Film Fest - they are putting on a "Best of Fest" in Kauai, Hawaii, and they asked if they could screen my film there! How could I say no?? More info on the fest is here.

Tams is coming with me, as she put in tons of work to help finish the film, and HELLO its Hawaii! We leave two weeks today! Here are some pics of the island I found, I cannot waaaaaaaaaaait. [They filmed "Jurassic Park" on this island, among other things!]

Sketches of the experience to come :)
