The Honolulu Film Festival (now the Waikiki Film Festival) was a sweet finale to Baby Boomerang’s world film festival tour.  And to get an another award was all the sweeter.

Mark and Camille had not been back to Hawaii since they were both seniors in high school and their choir toured Oahu for spring break.  “When I first saw Pearl Harbor in 1979, it seemed like the Japanese attack was forever ago,” Mark recalls.  “This time, it felt very recent.  The older I get, the more time contracts.  Wow, listen to me, I’m starting to talk like my father.”

“History is nothing but the passing on of the stories that shape us,”  Mark states as he begins to wax philosophical.  “My father’s life has certainly shaped me.  And I’m so very thankful that I have been able to preserve his story for my family.  Aloha.”
