Ohana Films

Hey Friends! So, can you believe that CHRISTMAS IS NEXT WEEK? One of our traditions is donating to local charities during the holidays. ... Ohana Films is a proud member of Maui Wedding Creatives, and MWC has organized a food drive to help local Maui families during the holiday season. I am asking you to donate to this AMAZING cause that benefits not only the families receiving the fresh produce, but the local farmers that grow it. Win-win! Please help the Maui Wedding Creatives raise funds to purchase Multiple CSA farm produce boxes to give away weekly for deserving members of our Community. MWC Go Fund Me for CSA Farm Box Donations: http://gf.me/u/zcazm7 This last year has been the most difficult of our lives. So many of our friends and neighbors have lost their businesses or jobs have no idea how they are going to feed their families. Thankfully we have an amazing community on our island that takes care of one another. MWC wishes to do the same and contribute to some of that hope we all need. Each share is $450 for a 3 month membership, full of beautiful, organic vegetables grown by our local farmers. Helping support them is another added bonus. Our goal is to raise funds to purchase 3 shares so we can give to as many in need as possible. We will start each week by asking for nominations to receive a bounty of locally grown, fruits and vegetables. At the end of week, one of our Maui Wedding Creatives will delivery the box to our neighbors in need. Seasonal Harvested goods could include: Avocado, Bananas, Beets, Bok Choy, Basil, Broccoli, Carrots, Eggplant, Grapefruit, Green Beans, Lettuce, Leeks and so much more Give the gift of health, give the gift of love!

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Nana girl yesterday. To be honest for a moment - the cats have all been a little more bonded to me. It's something that I really can't control. Maybe it's because I feed them and maybe it's because my thighs are fatter and provide a better bed for them to sit on, but they’re just a bit more connected to me. With Nana though, you could just tell that she favored Kent. Those big brown eyes would just stare at him. Even when I tried to get h...er attention, if Kent was in the room she'd just want to look at him and be next to him. There was an unexplainable but beautiful connection there and I loved seeing it get stronger every day. We’ve never actually gone out to adopt any of our pets. They’ve all just sort of found their way to us. Nana was no different. The stars aligned in February of 2018 and all of a sudden, we had a dog. She was a good girl. The BEST girl. She accepted all of the cats and let them sleep in her beds. She was so warm and wonderful to hug. She loved to roll around in her blankets, and especially when warm from the dryer. She loved peanut butter, and thank goodness she wasn't allergic to that. She LOVED her walk into Makawao town, that Kent would give to her daily. She knew everyone at the Rodeo General Store and would get waves and "great looking dog!" shouted to her from guys in pickups. She pranced up and down Baldwin and Makawao Ave. like she owned the place. And to me, she did. Gradually that prance turned into a slow walk with many breaks. As 2020 luck would have it, Nana started to show signs of canine cognitive disorder just a few weeks ago, back in November. Two days ago, everything pointed to a brain tumor. It was the hardest decision we've had to make and most excruciating emotional pain that we've had to endure. But ending her pain was necessary. Yesterday, we said goodbye. When we drove back from the vet yesterday there was probably the biggest rainbow we have ever seen right over Makawao town. We drove her through Makawao town, one more time, and then buried her. We love you so much Nana girl. Rest in peace. No pet will ever replace you and you were the best dog in the entire world.

WELCOME BACK! The Four Seasons is opening its doors again today! We've had a long relationship with the resort and its amazing employees - with Darlene being a former employee herself. Over the years we've had the opportunity to film marketing projects, events and countless weddings. We are excited to see the resort open its doors again and for tourism to (slowly and safely) come back to the islands. YAY! <3

Mele Kalikimaka, friends

SO FRESH, SO LOCAL @hoomakuafarm is doing some amazing things-from community outreach to their organic farming practices to their HUGE hearts...I encourage you to follow them and support them. Their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program is awesome because it’s community oriented and is beautifully sustainable. You eat what’s in season and you support your local economy. THIS is the only way we’ll be able to survive in the long run. Now is the time to change your eating habits. Buy local. Support local. Our lives and our earth depends on it. Go ahead and google CSA participating farmers in your area and go to farmers markets! #themoreyouknow
