Dive In — Premiere of Deep Wisdom
Join us for the world premiere of Deep Wisdom, a breathtaking 30-minute underwater film from Whale Wise Productions, a Maui-based team of ocean lovers, naturalists, and storytellers dedicated to sharing the wonder of humpback whales and the ocean they call home.
Deep Wisdom is the highly anticipated second film in the series, following Tuning to Peace, which has become a beloved audience favorite on Maui. Created by acclaimed underwater whale photographer and freediver Jenn Wakefield, this new film continues the journey beneath the surface, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of humpback whales through intimate underwater cinematography and an original musical score.
Experience the whales’ world from a perspective few will ever witness—watching them glide effortlessly through shafts of light, interact with one another, and reveal the quiet intelligence and presence that make these animals so extraordinary. More than a film, Deep Wisdom is an immersive encounter that invites audiences to form a deeper connection with the ocean and its most magnificent inhabitants.
Following the screening, stay for a special Talk Story with Jenn Wakefield and the Whale Wise team. Hear behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the film, learn more about these remarkable animals, and join an open conversation about the ocean, conservation, and the inspiration behind the project.
Whether you’re a lifelong ocean enthusiast or simply curious about the natural world, Deep Wisdom promises an unforgettable evening of beauty, wonder, and connection.
Be among the first to experience Deep Wisdom—and discover why audiences fell in love with Tuning to Peace. Get your tickets today.

For the 80 Years of Closure Commemoration of when Honouliuli Internment Camp closed, the National Park Service in partnership with the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, Kinetic Productions, and Pacific Historic Parks, will be bringing special film screenings of "Voices Behind Barbed Wire" on all neighboring islands.

"Voices Behind Barbed Wire", a film by Kinetic Productions, tells the story of Japanese-Americans living in Hawaiʻi after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and how their families were affected by martial law. Following the film will be a panel discussion with Ryan Kawamoto, director of the film, Carole Hayashino, President Emeritus of the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i, Christine Ogura, Superintendent of Honouliuli National Historic Site, and Shelley Yasuhara, a descendant of a Honouliuli incarceree.

In July, in partnership with the Kaua‘i Community College, the film will be shown at the college's Performing Arts Center on Kaua‘i. There will also be a Honouliuli NHS pop-up exhibit display at the Lihue Public Library all month in coordination with the film.

The Huliau Food & Film Festival is a farm-to-table celebration of local agriculture, featuring Maui’s talented chefs and student-produced films. This year, the event moves to a beautiful new outdoor setting at Kapuakukui Farm on Saturday, August 29th, where guests will enjoy stunning sunset and ocean views from Upcountry Maui.

The evening will welcome 180 guests and feature chef stations serving a variety of pupu and desserts inspired by locally sourced ingredients. Guests can choose between limited reserved table seating with partial table service, or the Mix and Mingle Pass, a more casual tasting experience with access to highboy tables and open, lounge style seating throughout the event. This option invites guests to explore the chef stations, connect with others, and enjoy the evening at their own pace.

Event entertainment will include live music, hula, and student-produced films that highlight the unique attributes and abundance of the Kula moku, as well as some of the farms featured in the evening’s dishes.

This year’s event is BYOB. Funds raised will support Maui Huliau Foundation’s environmental education programs for Maui youth.
