Hello, all... Just a quick note and update from the lovely island of Maui in the Hawaiian archipelago. Had hoped to post this sooner but was busy diving with turtles and sharks.
At any rate, the Maui Film Festival kicked off last Tuesday, and will end Sunday night. Celebrity guests included Joshua Radnor and James Marsden, with a special tribute tonight to Elizabeth Banks (THE NEXT THREE DAYS, ROLE MODELS, PEOPLE LIKE US) and there was much partying. The island's bars were deserted most nights of the Festival because everyone was there. Especially last Thursday night, when the stellar surfing film IMMERSION premiered. There have been some other real gems featured here, some of which are previewed below. But there are many, many more. Please look for these films when they reach your city. See below:
And, of course, my ode to summer, Hawaii, and summer in Hawaii: Sheryl Crow's awesome "Soak Up The Sun". But don't forget to wear SPF 100+...
Have a great weekend, folks...
