Short Film - L?hain? Noon: Christopher Kahunahana
When everyone involved in a film is working from a deep sense of commitment, chances are you’ll see the results on-screen. That’s what Christopher Kahunahana is hoping for with L?hain? Noon, a dramatic short film he wrote and directed. So, does the shadow self creep back into the body when L?hain? Noon comes, and the sun casts no shadow? That question is the inspiration for Christopher’s movie, which is in post-production now, and he joined us this morning in-studio to talk more about it.

It’s not easy to pin down the criteria that make up a good TED talk, but chances are Emma White, speaker liaison for TEDx Maui, has given them a good deal of thought. The “x” in TEDx means it’s an independent organization, and the choices Emma has made for its next event reflect that.
