..OKD Baby..

been busy with all the little projects i have been taking on.. some how i still think im super woman and that all things are possible.. (resulting in me gulping coffee as if its water and chewing on aleve as if it was gum... errrr) but i guess we will see...

but for now.. here's a fun ass article on the recent project i got to work on (act/costume)

cross your fingers and start praying so we can premier at sundance film festival baby!!

One Kine Day – written and directed by Chuck Mitsui - is smoothly rolling along through its final week of filming all on Oahu’s Windward side. The production wraps Friday, Aug. 14…The $1-million indie first created by Mitsui some nine years ago is on schedule, on budget, has brought back to Hawaii some local actors – Julia Nickson and Janel Parrish – to co star in the production while also giving some major breaks to local hopefuls like Nalu Boersma, Sean Reilly, Auriel Rickaud, Ryan Greer, and Naomi Cooper…

Perhaps even more memorable are the smiles and aloha among the crew working on the project – some 50 a day and 99 percent local – who represent some of the most experienced crew talent that Hawaii offers…When you consider that crew salaries for indies are considerably lower than for bigger budget television shows and motion pictures, the ohana attitude on One Kine Day is even more remarkable…Even execs pitched in on duties normally filled by crew. Producer Torry Tukuafuearlier in the week coordinated EPK interviews even holding the boom during an interview with co star Julia Nickson…

“It’s been like a family working on here,” a crew member told Reel Hawaii. “Everyone pitches in to do what needs to be done without being asked….Another veteran crew member said the local workers believe in the story. “It’s a great story, a real one about Hawaii, and told by a local filmmaker. Look around here and you see professional crew at the top of their game in Hawaii. We all came on board because we believe in this and like being really proud of making a film like this”…

Mitsui, an intense director offset by a beguiling smile and affavle personality, said “I wanted to make a film about a side of Hawaii that visitors never see. That’s why we’re shooting all of it on Windward Oahu and in neighborhoods like Waimanalo” and Hawaiian homelands.
