I got to shoot 5 local directors here in Hawaii. They direct a lot of the local commercials. They have so much talent and found time during their busy work schedules to create local films. Honored to be the set photographer for these guys and honored (and a little nervous) to shoot this shot of them. I couldn’t sleep the night before thinking I’ll need to direct a bunch a directors but we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. Glad that they are creating films locally. Catch “6B” and “Paradise Broken” at The Hawaii International Film Festival. You can buy your tickets on-line here.

From L to R:
Ryan Kawamoto – director of “The Back Door,” Roy Kimura – director of “Redemption, ” James Sereno – executive producer, Jay Hanamura – director of “Last Sixty,” and Nathan Kurosawa – director of “Vacancy”
