Maui’s cinema darling Kuleana has been selected to screen at the Made in Hawaiʻi Film Festival, happening Aug. 25 at the Hilo Palace Theater on Hawaiʻi Island.

The Maui-made film KULEANA was held over for a fifth week, surviving the onslaught of the AVENGERS, for at least this week.

Maui Now's Wendy Osher attended Saturday's opening event at the Maui Mall where the film's producers and actors held a red carpet meet-and-greet event.

The award-winning film KULEANA hits theaters statewide with its theatrical release on March 30th at Regal and Consolidated Theaters throughout Hawaiʻi.

The creative media program at UHMC welcomes award-winning director, writer and producer Brian Kohne to teach its digital storytelling class in spring 2018.

Next up for KULEANA will be a one-night-only screening on Maui during the holidays - stay tuned for an exclusive announcement
