The ensemble cast showcased not only their talent but also an undeniable connection to the narrative they portray. Each member, from seasoned actors to fresh faces, brought their own unique flair, making the evening both a visual treat and poignant reminder of the power of representation in film.
“This project has been a dream of ours. We wanted to show O'ahu in a light that truly reflects its beauty and culture,” said lead actress, Lyla Kaimana.
