WE HAVE A LIMITED STOCK

We are looking to raise money for film festivals so that we can showcase the vibrant queer community in Hawaiʻi worldwide. We believe that this film has the potential to not only entertain but to also educate those outside of this wonderful community. Funds would go to the cost of festival submission fees as well as sending our actors to represent Hawaiʻi at some of the big festivals.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
