‘OHINA SHORT FILM SHOWCASE
This Friday, SEPTEMBER 21
7:00 pm, McCoy Studio Theater
Join us for the inaugural screening on Maui of the ‘Ohina Short Film Showcase, with incredible independent films from Hawai’i. Since 1999, ‘Ohina has been Hawai’i’s largest annual short film festival, dedicated to gathering and presenting original works by students, amateurs, and professional filmmakers. Although entries can come from around the world, there is only one requirement: a creative relationship to the Hawaiian Islands.
