Young Hawaii filmmaker wins at Sundance!

Because Hawaii is not known as a film industry mecca, I am always inspired when a filmmaker from here receives national or international recognition for his or her work.  In this case, it is a young filmmaker from Maui named Destin Cretton, who triumphed over 96 other filmmakers to win the Best Short Film award at the Sundance Film Festival.  During his time at Sundance, he kept an online blog, which can be found here:

Congratulations, Destin!
