FUTURE PROJECTS

Island Film Group is currently developing additional Hawaii-based film and television projects, including:

"The Valley," a feature film project, based on the true story of Kaluaiko'olau of Kaua'i, who refused to be separated from his wife and young son and face exile in the leper colony. With the help of his trusty rifle, they resisted the cannons of the Provisional Government and remained hidden in Kalalau Valley, living off the land and honoring native Hawaiian practices until the disease claimed what the soldiers could not.

"Darkness in Paradise," a feature film project based on the infamous Massie case of the 1930s, in which a navy man's young wife, Thalia Massie, accused five local men of rape, even though they were in a different part of Honolulu at the time. One of the men, Joseph Kahahawai, was later kidnapped by Thalia's mother, husband and navy men. Kahahawai was shot and killed when he refused to confess, triggering arguably the most explosive trial ever seen in Honolulu, and featuring the last courtroom appearance by famed defense attorney Clarence Darrow.

"Go For Broke," a feature film based on the famed nisei soldiers of the 100th Battalion/442d Regimental Combat Team during World War II, who became the most decorated military unit in U.S. history for its size and length of service. These young men overcame severe prejudice and the injustice of internment at the hands of the very people for whom they risked their lives, to prove their loyalty as fellow Americans.

"The Tattoo," a feature film based on the compelling novel by local author Chris McKinney, is a gritty coming of age story about a young man from the Windward side of O'ahu, set against the dark underbelly of Honolulu. Like "Once Were Warriors," this film promises to show a much more layered and complex side to our island paradise.
