Mad love to the Emmy's for the "Waterman" nomination & invite to NYC. Seeing Duke on the screens at TimesSquare 100+ yrs after he won over the world with Aloha... teary Mahalo. Inspired by Duke, it felt right to for me to rep our Polyne

Welp… here we go. If they want a doc made to induce smiles, I guess we’ve got a shot. #watermanmovie #Emmys2023 #dukekahanamoku

Wow. “Outstanding Historical Documentary.” So awesome to help keep Dukes name in the news and on people’s minds as long as we can. And then for all the crew and people crazy enough to help make this happen, to have our hard work rec

Nadi Airport, Fiji - There are always little signs that subtly tell you “you’re in a different country.” I just wonder how much of a problem item #1 is on planes.

History & Hula : Mad love to the @queenkapiolanihotel for giving my family a heck of a good time as we start our Hawaii adventure with hula lessons and an awesome gallery of history for me to talk about till my keikis ears fall off. I can’t

Surfalorous - Day 3 : Wright Brothers Memorial. When I found out the Wright brothers took their first flight close to where the @surfalorus festival was held; the big history nerd in me took over. And when it comes to historical monuments, this is on

Surfalorous - Day 2 : Screening day on Jannette’s Pier for @surfalorus film festival. Awesome time (and some little emotional moments) showing the flick and talking Duke. The Spirit of Aloha & Southern Hospitality seem to go together seamle

Surfalorous Festival - Day 1 : Good show North Carolina. That’s the rest of America on the other side of the water. #islandlife🌴 Man, I LOVE sunsets. @surfalorus #nagshead #northcarolina

Surfalorous Festival - Day 1 : Invited out by @surfalorus to screen @waterman_movie in Nags Head NC, and talk #Duke. Never thought I’d get to catch a surf competition in the USA’s South. Lovin’ it. And man it’s pretty out here

Duke & my Uncle Jan Fisher : For me, everything starts right here when it comes to making “Waterman.” My uncles name is next to where he’s standing, written on Dukes right foot. And his ashes were spread in the ocean just ahead

Greenroom Festival - Part 1 - They know how to throw an incredibly awesome festival for the arts out here in Yokohama. So stoked to be a part of this. #greenroomfestival #WatermanTheMovie #DukeKahanamoku #JapanknowshowtoPARTY

Greenroom Festival : this setup is a big one. Most people outside of Hawaii probably don’t know the STRONG connection & love between Japan and the islands. And when he was alive, the way Duke was celebrated here is really special. Excited t

Waterman : California Post BTS - With California theaters starting to carry Waterman this weekend, I had to show and give love to my California crew. And you know, when you want to show the world a real life superhero like Duke, snagging a composer a

The Senate & House Floors of the Utah State Government, mid-crazy voting sessions, took a few minutes to honor Duke, talk a little story, and even recognize Utahs massive Polynesian population. Huge mahalo @coxlrc for believing in the power of Al

Waterman, Post Production : Over 4,000 hours of editing 45+ Terabytes of data. That’s 60+ interviews in 3 countries totaling 200+ hours & 300+ pages of transcripts, 2.5 Terabytes of photos, 500+ newspaper articles covering 100+ years, 100+

Big massive hearts & love to the big guy, Jason Momoa, for going out of his way to be a part of Waterman. I had a final watch today in a theater, before it’s shipped out for opening nights starting in Hawaii, April 1st. And I just felt load

Talking Duke Kahanamoku, while “subtly” reppin’ a HUGE inspiration for me in Hollywood @therock . With Big Buddah leading the way for FOX13, it was a fun Polynesian takeover on Utah television this morning. So grateful for the chanc

“Be cool, be cool, be cool…” @kellyslater with one of the coolest surprises I’ve ever had. Coming to watch “Waterman” at the Florida Film Festival, without telling anybody I knew, that he was going to be there. No

Awesome. Thanks so much HIFF and the first big audience to catch the flick. What a crazy and fun ride this has been.

Mad love to the @flsurffilmfest for an awesome showing of Waterman to a packed house. And big love to the GOAT @kellyslater for sneaking in to hang and watch. What an amazing night, and humbling feeling to be honored with the Best Doc award. I watche
