Back from the land of aloha

At last, I’m able to log into the admin page of this blog again, although I’m still unfortunately unable to post photos.

For a long time this site has just been giving me an error 404 message every time I tried to log in. So although I’d been itching to make some posts, I had been forbidden by the almighty computer somewhere out there. Anyway I’m here again, brimming with stories to tell.

Hit the beach!

Aloha!

24k will hit the beach as it screens at the Hawaii International Film Festival on October 15-25, 2009.

I’m eager to have the film screened there since a lot of Ilocanos migrated to those islands in the 1970s and 80s. I’m sure they’ll be happy to watch a film shot in their home province.

Thanks to Minette Ferrer, Anderson Le, and the Hawaii Int’l. Film Festival for this opportunity!
