Akakū Upstairs returns on Thursday, September 19th with a sneak peek at ‘‘Lahaina: Rising from the Ashes,’ an emotionally powerful film that explores themes of environmental degradation, social injustice, community resilience, and hope and recovery. This documentary is currently in progress with local Director Matty Schweitzer at the helm. Matty and his team will share excerpts from the film and discuss the filmmaking process. Joining Matty to talk story about the making of the film are Blake Rambel (Producer), De Andre Makakoa (Producer), and Phil Schlieder (Executive Producer). An audience Q&A will follow.
Doors open at 5:30pm giving the community time to mix and mingle. The salon goes from 6pm – 7:30pm.
Offered on the third Thursday of each month at Akakū’s Media Lab, Akakū Upstairs is a community outreach program designed to bring Maui Nui together in person to share, learn, and be inspired by local stories, elevating community and conversation.
