Our goal is to respectfully and accurately, preserve, perpetuate and share Hawaiian culture via traditional as well as contemporary mediums. Through our DVD and book publishing and distribution, as well as our "Hawaii ETC. Entertainment, Trends, Culture" Internet and television show, we hope to raise interest and conciousness on all subjects regarding Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands.

Along with our own creations, we are working to bring forth to the national and international market, the music, art and writings of hitherto unknown and undiscovered local writers, musicians and artists. Please review this site for frequent updates!

Ways of Ancient Hawaii - Remember Ulu Mau Village? Located during the 1960's in Ala Moana Park and then He'eia.
A recreation of an old Hawaiian Village, wherein locals and malihini learned how the Hawaiians of old lived.
One had the chance to view how Kanaka maoli made their clothing, prepared their food... kapa making, weaving,
carving, basically most all aspects of how they lived... on display were a few Pili grass hale, ki'i akua, poi boards in action, etc..
We recreate this experience in this dvd. It will feature demonstrations by weavers, kapa makers, the taro story,
how to make poi, the traditional luau, hukilau, the weaving and creation of the mahiole (with feathers and without) with the i'e i'e rootlets...
carvers of God imagery and of canoes, (Kahuna kalai ki'i, Kahuna kalai wa'a"). An invaluable, entertaining and educational video.









It is very rare that we ever hear tell of Pitcairn. But now we have occasion to reach out through the distant past and connect
with this mysterious and fabled island and its denizens; the descendants of Fletcher Christian and his shipmates,
Bounty mutineers and the Tahitians who accompanied them and their progeny. Revel in the incredible never told
story of the infamous Pitcairn Island. This remote landfall met up with the tallship His Majesty's Armed Vessel
(HMAV) Bounty in 1790, and the rest, as they don't say, is forgotten history.
But we bring it alive! We see how they lived. How they made their life once again out of almost nothing, on a desolate isle!
Their strange and wonderful existence in that most enigmatic world of theirs.
In this amazing one hour DVD.









Hawaii's Maritime Story - Ancient to Modern!
Now, we can learn the untold story of Hawaii's incredible nautical origins from the seafaring Polynesian canoes
bringing new life to these strange islands we now call home... we see the changes brought about during the
Whaling days of Hawaii and the settling of Honolulu and the islands from the insurgence of tallships and the
commerce they would bring. The grogshops. Tattoo parlors. The wild "frontier days" of Hawaii.
All brought back to life with this new DVD release. Don't miss it!
