“We offer our highest praise for an emotional force that should not be allowed in a first feature.” The jurors were Samuel Jamier, president of the New York Asian Film Festival; Jesse Hawthorne Ficks, film critic and San Francisco Bay Guardian producer; and Mia Lee Vicino, film journalist and former West Coast editor of Letterboxd. They also handed an honorable mention to “The Seoul Guardians.” Zilla Barbosa’s “Making the Line” was named best Made in Hawai’i feature.

“The film thoughtfully captures an intense emotional journey often kept behind-the-scenes and celebrates the grit, determination and perseverance required to uphold Hawaiian excellence,” the jury said, adding that it “marks a triumphant debut for a filmmaker from Hilo, Hawaii, whose work in music and radio has long served this community.” Justyn Ah Chong’s “The Man and the Tree” picked up two prizes. It won best Made in Hawai’i short, which puts it in line for Oscar qualification, and also took the Pacific Award’s short film honor, a category added this year for the first time.

The Made in Hawai’i jury said the narrative short depicts “the beauty and weight of an entire life cycle and does so while staying true to a Native Hawaiian perspective.” Aukai Lagiri’s “Kukulu” received an honorable mention in the Made in Hawai’i short category, while Ty Sanga’s “Lahaina: Voices of Change” earned honorable mentions from both the Made in Hawai’i and Pacific Award juries. The Made in Hawai’i jury comprised Michelle Sugihara, executive director and CEO of the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE); Taylour Chang, Bishop Museum’s director of public programs
