Hawaii International Film Festival 39's New American Perspectives Panel (2019) Directors, Writers, Producers

In 2019, the Hawaii International Film Festival aka HIFF hosted an extended panel at Clear Channel Honolulu's music hall. When I worked for that company, I was granted permission to capture the audio - sound engineer Cooper! - and video (my trusty Sony camcorder) - of the session.

At the time, I was looking for an occasion to learn my equipment and later to merge media to edit. When I look at this, I'm happy that I volunteered to be in the room for this important talk story. These folks are still creating and working with others to explore what it means for themselves to create in their various industries as they were and as they are.

On this panel: Haifaa Al-Mansour, Jenny Dorsey, HIKARI, Isabel Sandoval, and Emily Ting

It's a snapshot on this day and up to this point in their respective careers and I hope you enjoy it :)
