Another Successful Big Island Film Festival Comes to a Close

Our only Big Island movie theaters are in the "big cities" of Kailua Kona and Hilo, but the Kohala Coast resorts have the distinction of hosting the annual Big Island Film Festival, which comes to a close this evening. In its earlier years it took place at the Waikoloa Beach Resort hotels and Queens Market Place; the past two years it has moved to the Mauna Lani Resort.

If you only catch one event of the Big Island Film Festival, choose the night it closes. The Best of the Fest begins with a Silent Auction to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project; continues with a concert featuring a popular Hawai'ian music artist; and ends with the Audience Choice films. Throughout the festival the audience gets to vote on their favorite short and feature films.

This year's Audience Choice feature is called GET A JOB, filmed in Hawai'i and obviously a favorite with local audiences. See you at the Fairmont Orchid this evening for the close of the Big Island Film Festival!

A hui hou,
