Last Night To Purchase Maui Film Fest Tickets At A Discount

By Kristin Hashimoto

There’s just a few hours left to score some Maui Film Festival tickets at a discounted 20% to 35% off the normal rate. This yearly movie screening has grown to epic proportions. Tickets go fast, parking is sometimes problematic, and the films go from unique to wonderfully weird. The movies will be screened at both the Maui Arts and Cultural Center and other venues in Wailea. From June 15 to June 19, Mauians can schmooze and rub elbows with Hollywood on a Hawaiian red carpet. This year the Maui Film Fest is offering the following event passes:
