“The Wailuku Film Festival is a vital investment in the future of Maui’s creative economy. By providing funding for both the Maui County Film Office and this new festival, the County is demonstrating its commitment to fostering local talent, creating meaningful employment opportunities, and promoting cultural expression through film. This initiative not only strengthens our creative industries – it also contributes to economic development and the long-term wellbeing of our communities.”
