Today is the final day of the L.A. Film Fest with the awards ceremonies (SHIRO'S HEAD is a nominee for the GRAND JURY AWARD) and closing night celebration taking place. So, we drove five hours from the Bay Area back to L.A. just in time to get ready for the event. We were able to spread the word about Guam by talking with John Manal Castro, co-writer of the film “The Debut” (which I saw while it

We only have 2 full days of free time, so we cap off our road trip with an super-long 8 hour drive from Las Vegas to the Bay! Good times! We have to send a huge shout-out to Custom Limos for our free limousine tour of the Bay! Our bro-in-law Tony Garner of Custom Limo was kind enough to take some time out to give us a 1st class tour of San Francisco with a surprise visit to the grounds of the

Time for some personal let-loose. We decided since the workshops at the fest are over, that we’d unwind with a banzai road trip to Las Vegas (a 4 hour drive from L.A.) and then to San Francisco (an 8 hour drive from Vegas).

The highlight of Day 07 was the seminar, “HO’OPUNIPUNI: THE MYTH OF STATEHOOD” held at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy in Downtown L.A. Because the focus of the seminar centered around Hawaii’s 50th Anniversary of statehood along with the issues of international law, cultural preservation and annexation, we knew that given the current situation of Guam, there was much that

Day 06 during the festival consisted of spending some quality time with Daniel Ferranti, (technical coordinator of "This Film is Not Yet Rated", who helped Shiro’s Head with its first ever critical screening before its final cut) and wife Darcy Harris. Also, getting some quality time in the karaoke bars to help recharge the ol' batteries!

After a successful Day 4, Day 5 was another big day for Guam cinema as "Under the American Sun" screened. The project is produced by Alex Munoz and Bernie Schumann and directed by Burt Sardoma, Jr. At almost 30 minutes, the project was not only entertaining, but informative and insightful. We also got the chance to check out "Double Happiness" and "Kung-Fu Granny", both crowd favorites!

Our first day at the L.A. Asian Pacific Film Festival was off to a great start. We picked up the 3rd Muna brother, Associate Producer Michael Muna, and were off to the Director’s Guild of America in West Hollywood for the filmmaker check-ins, interviews with Giant Robot’s Eric Nakamura, photos at the press wall, meeting up with festival director Abraham Ferrer and Andersen Le as well as other
