I cannot believe 1 year went by this quickly. 2025 was a year of saying yes—to projects, to people, to late nights, long shoots, creative risks, and moments of doubt that turned into growth. I met friends who started as collaborators and became family, and I’m endlessly grateful for every person who shared a set, a conversation, or a vision with me this year. I was lucky enough to be part of so many film projects—each one teaching me something new about storytelling, collaboration, patience, and myself. Some days were exhausting, some were inspirational, and all of them reminded me why I fell in love with filmmaking in the first place. I couldn’t tag everyone but thank you to everyone who trusted me with their stories, showed up with passion, and believed in making something meaningful together. No matter what happens next, no matter how uncertain the path gets, I know one thing for sure: I’ll keep making films. Always.

Before the year ends, I wanted to share one of my favorite moments of this year: the creation of my short film, Last Dance.

It began as a screenplay assignment in 2022. Something small that quietly stayed with me. Over time, it grew into the most meaningful and anticipated passion project of my college career, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible people who joined me along the way.

In Fall 2024, we pitched the film and got it green-lit. From there, things moved fast: I finished the final script, we gathered our amazing crew, cast our talented actors, prepped props and costumes, created shot lists, and developed the choreography together. Then we brought the story to life on set, shot the film over five days, edited it in a month, and premiered it at the SCA Showcase, where we won Best Cinematography, Best Individual Performance, and received multiple nominations.

Months later, Last Dance was selected for the Hawaii International Film Festival in the University Shorts category. In October, we had our official HIFF premiere and shared the film with a wider audience, celebrating all the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.

I am endlessly grateful for my cast, crew, and everyone who supported us from the beginning. This film gave me more than I ever expected. Friendships, memories, and the chance to end this chapter of my life doing the two things I love with the people who believed in me.

Thank you for dancing with me until the final show 🩰🎬💜🥺

April of this year I chose to spend my birthday participating in the @hifilmmakers 48 hour challenge with some friends. It was a small team and a big ask. We wrapped at 4am and still needed to come back for pick-ups. It was a mad dash to the finish line we did it and we took overall first!

I definitely did not expect our film to win 1st overall and thanks to my amazing team I was able to attend @hiffhawaii industry conference. An amazing weekend that’ll post about separately but I had to showcase some screenshots and BTS from the film that gave that opportunity. Mahalo to everyone!
