My amazing colleague Katie and I are doing a panel with some amazing Hawaii actors! We will talk about all things casting and answer as many questions about the process as time permits! It’s so important to come together as a community to share stories and information so I hope you will join us! The event is free in partnership with the Hawai’i Film Alliance so please become a member today, if you are not one already, and RSVP for the event! Joining HFA is one of the most important things you can do right now to show support for Hawaii’s TV & FILM industry:) Hope to see you Sunday!
I have hundreds of videos and photos I wanted to post but I only get 90seconds so this is where I landed. Trying to find the right words to describe how much Bob Weir meant to me is impossible. His music has been the soundtrack to my life. The outpouring of love I’ve seen in the last 24 hrs reminds me of how lucky I was to have been on the bus for the last 35 years. While I’m heartbroken for the loss I know the music will never stop❤️ If you follow me just know my stories will be filled with his image for next few days then back to fighting for our democracy:) Thanks for all of it Bobby, I love you. Sending lots of love to your amazing wife and daughters.
Fall is my favorite time of year to be back in NY! Had an amazing two weeks soaking up the city and gorgeous landscapes of eastern Long Island! Big thanks to my girl @marina_benasuli for the hospitality in NYC 💕 I’m back home in Lulu and digging into a new project, so very grateful for the work 🙏🏻
On this Labor Day weekend I’m enjoying the US Open and reflecting on an amazing summer with friends and family. I’m SO grateful for everyone that’s fighting for workers rights and democracy. May we all move into Fall hopeful for peace, prosperity and a world that puts love and kindness at the top of its priorities 🙏🏻
Today’s the day the world gets to see what Hawai’i can do when we put our hearts and soul into something! I’m so proud of the entire cast and crew from the extras, to set design, to the music department, every choice that was made was just perfect! I want to thank our producing team and everyone at Disney, especially Randi Hiller and Lyberti Evans, for trusting me with this iconic remake. Lastly, to Maia and Sydney you are the heart of this movie and I’m just so proud of you both! Now let’s break some box office records!!
Here we go!! Tried to post this last night but I’m an instagram idiot sometimes! Huge thank you to the team at @disney for bringing me onto this iconic project 🙌🏻 We cast so many wonderful local actors, in both lead and supporting roles, and of course the incredible @maiakealoha ! She is going to warm hearts across the world ❤️ Congratulations to my team and everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this beautiful story back to life!
The bay calls the day!
I was so fortunate to spend seven years living on the north shore and during that time the Eddie was held three times! This photo was from the 2002 event, I’m seated looking at an issue of free surf in the blue striped tank top:) I remember getting down to the beach and my dear friend EP (RIP) had his truck parked in a great spot so we posted up on the tailgate. I remember at one point realizing Eddie Veder was sitting behind me and trying to keep my cool, lol! Although for most of the day we all thought Tony Ray was gonna take it but in a recount late in the afternoon it was determined that Kelly had I think 2 or three more points than Tony. It was an amazing day and I’m glad this photo exists for me to always remember what a wonderful experience the Eddie is! Good luck ladies and gentlemen! This year I’ll be home live streaming but my heart is with you all down at the bay ❤️ 📸 Grant Ellis
Today’s the day!! #rescuehisurf premiers tonight on @foxtv ! Congratulations to @johnwellsproductions and the entire cast and crew, I know everyone is as proud of the work as I am ❤️
That’s a wrap! Congratulations to our entire Cast and Crew for getting thru the last seven months of shooting, this show wasn’t easy and you all worked so hard! I want to send a huge thank you to all of the incredible actors that auditioned for the show!! We booked almost 350 of you, and 15 of those roles are significant recurring roles!! I’m so incredibly proud of you all! A huge THANK YOU to all the Hawaii agents who worked so hard to keep the train on the tracks AND lastly, to Amanda and Jorin…. I couldn’t do it without you ladies 🙏🏻.. Episode 1 airs Sept 22! let’s go!🔥
And Just like that, 13 years have flown by and my amazing daughter is officially a Punahou graduate. Congratulations Ava! I couldn’t be more proud ❤️🥹
