Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! 
Happy New Year!  All the best to our friends:
Love,  Good Health and Productivity in this Year!

Making this film for the last two years has been an adventure.  Our journey has taken us to new places, and we’ve met many interesting people.   We’ve learned a lot -- about ourselves, each other, and how to make a film.  One thing we know for sure, we all need each other.  Your support has encouraged and empowered us to completion!  We are extremely grateful for the lives we live in these beautiful Hawaiian Islands.  It has been our privilege to meet all of you, we thank you for the aloha you have shown us
