The Maui Film Festival at Wailea Kicks off today. The event will run from today through Sunday at various venues throughout Wailea and at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului. This popular event for residents and visitors alike features a great mix of documentaries, independent and main stream films in a variety of intimate and beautiful settings. In addition to movies, there are panel discussions by film makers, various parties and dining events as well as tributes and awards for some of Hollywood’s brightest actors and personalities. This years honorees include Claire Danes and William Hurt. I will be headed down tonight to take in the films at the Celestial Cinema. It is always a pleasure to take in movies on the golf course under a blanket of stars with the ocean to your back and Haleakala looming in front of you.
