Hawaii Sovereignty Filmmaker now turns camera on Fashion Culture in Los Angeles.
One of the goals of "Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty" by filmmaker Catherine Bauknight and the Native Hawaiian people, is to enlighten the world of the truth of Hawai'i Nei.
"Connecting Cultures" is the core vision of Award-winning filmmaker Catherine Bauknight, who has started filming a documentary about Los Angeles fashion and culture. The project is Executive Produced by Fashion Los Angeles, the new global platform for Los Angeles fashion. This cutting edge documentary will launch at the first official Fashion Los Angeles, forFall/Winter 2011 collections, February 1-7, 2011. We will find out why Los Angeles is becoming the hub for fashion in the US, how it relates to history, film, and the indigenous people who are located here including the Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Hispanic cultures."
Bauknight says "We are continuing the unity of understanding culture through fashion in Los Angeles. Cultures throughout the world are based here for a reason.
The film will explore the culture of fashion through intimate interviews and insights into the lifestyles and processes of designers, the inspirations for their work, and the community of people who are behind the scenes to increase the communication and support of the world of fashion in Los Angeles, as Fashion Los Angeles creates a global platform.
The making of the documentary will develop a stage for social communication through webisodes, and the internet. This venue of documentation and webisodes will build and connect the community of Los Angeles and fashion as awareness of each grows. The cultural, economic, and social connection within the two communities will be bridged during this process of documentation of growth, creating a greater sense of identity for Los Angeles today and historically through the voices of the people.
"Our journey through the history and future of fashion will be an extraordinary experience through this documentary film" says Bauknight. The premiere will be held at Fashion Los Angeles, between February 1-7, 2011. The documentary will then travel throughout the world to be screened at film festivals.
