EVERY DAY IN KAIMUKĪ

Filmmakers in attendance. Film program will be followed by Q&A

Naz, a night DJ at a local Oahu radio station decides to finally take the big leap off his home island to the big city island of New York. Although his apartment in Kaimuki is up for rent, luggage is packed, and his cat’s travel carrier is purchased, it seems that the neighborhood that he grew up in is not yet ready to let him go. In this hybrid docu-drama comedy, Alika Tengan instigates the deep cut questions of belonging in his first feature film.
