Aloha students and friends of the Academy for Creative Media. In this
update: ACM scores at HIFF; Your change to talk with Cameron Crowe; and the
Hawaiinuiakea Film Festival.
DAO GETS HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SPECIAL MENTION
ACM scored big in the 2006 Louis Vuitton Hawai'i International Film
Festival. DAO, an ACM student film by Jay Hubert was given a special mention
in the Hawai'i Filmmakers competition.
DAO was featured in a sold-out SRO HIFF screening along with ACM student
films SORE SHOULDERS AND ACHING JAWS by Roger Nakamine; EVE by Brian
Makanoa; MY FATHER'S STORY by Joelle-Lyn Satre; FOLLOW THE LEADER by Ty
Sanga and CHOPSTICKS by Henry Mochida.
Students also crowded into ACM Master Classes on Acting with Kal Penn, and
on Directing with Justin Lin, both held on campus as part of the ACM-HIFF
partnership. The first international student films at HIFF were co-sponsored
by ACM in our ongoing SMART (Student Media Art) Exchange. The Shanghai
University student filmmakers and faculty were guests of ACM and were
presented certificates at the Justin Lin Master Class.
