From browsing through the wall poster racks of Sam Goody in middle school, thinking, "Which one of these will impress my friends the most?" to spending $40 on a Pierrot Le Fou poster off the net in my college dorm room, thinking, "Who needs friends when I can look at this all day?," film posters have always held a special place in my camphor, nitrocellulose heart.

So after scourging the web, I came across this list of 50 Incredible Film Posters from Poland (or if you want more than just the edited fifty, I'm one step ahead of you: "Google image search "polish film posters"). We're walking the line of contemporary art here, people!

There's without a doubt a stirring inner circle of filmmakers and made-in-Hawaii films starting to surface in the past few months. Just look at the recent 'Oiwi Film Festival and 'Ohina Short Film Showcase 2010 -- Hawaiian filmmaking seems to be everywhere.

Case in point: Two weeks ago, I met an aspiring local actress - and recent NYU Tisch graduate - who invited me to help on the set of a short she just so happened to be acting in (turns out, she just so happened to have written it also). Producer + Screenwriter + Actress = triple-threat Katherine Emily Mills. Gathering talent from New York City and Hawai'i, her cast and crew shot on-location in Kahala and the North Shore under the Last Pictures banner. If you've ever been on a shoot before, you know orchestrating that many bodies and equipment takes time and eat-your-breakfast energy, otherwise you might go Christian Bale on someone. Luckily I have infinite patience and I don't know, there's just something about small teams and operating on a shoe-string budget that really makes you feel like you're a part of something special (am I right, HIFF team?)

More about her film, STANDING IN WATER, after the jump...

We had a great event last night, with close to 400 people coming out and attending. Nextdoor was packed, everyone was enjoying the food from J.J. Dolans, and many of you won prizes during the raffle. We hope you enjoy those concert tickets, thanks again to BAMP Project for providing them.

You may be wondering, what's next? Well, here it is:

HIFF will be releasing some more info about films slowly over the next month or so, but the full program and schedule announcement will come Mid-September. We'll be launching our Online Program Guide at that time, so you'll be able to view synopses, photos and trailers from the films, etc.

There will be a Sneak Peek event with the unveiling of the HIFF 30 festival trailer and a film shown for free to HIFF Members (title TBD) on Thursday, September 30th. Tickets will go on sale for Members at that time, and for the General Public on Monday, October 4th. Then the films will begin October 14th and run through the 24th.
