Festivus, Part V.

Ten weeks old, and my film has already made it Honolulu. Meanwhile, the closest I’ve ever come to the Big Island was a swig of Hawaiian Punch.

The Beneficiary has been accepted into its fifth festival – the Honolulu Film Festival – and it looks like the monkeys are going to have to make room, according to an email from the folks at the fest:

"Your film was one of only 35 films selected from among hundreds of films submitted from over 30 countries around the world. In recognition of your achievement, all official selections will be honored with the Gold Kuhuna Award for Excellence in Filmmaking. In addition, top prizes for the Best of Category Winners will be announced and presented at the closing night awards ceremony."

And a big mahalo to you too, my friends.
