Follow on Google News | Rx World Premiere To Be In Hilo Hawaii!A special “world premier” screening of a feature film, “Rx” by 18 year old Jesse Tunison of KYBC, will kick off the conference on Thursday, May 27 at 7 pm at the Palace Theater in downtown Hilo.
By: Toxikc Colour Rx is KYBC’s first film project which will be released commercially in local theatres. The project was initiated when Jesse was 16 years old. Filmed entirely on the Big Island in locations such as downtown Hilo and Volcano with local actors, Rx is high drama as the main character, Jason, who is pushing prescription drugs runs into a persistent and revengeful cop whose own family has been wrecked by high flying teens. Jason is played by Robert Lindbergh and his female counterpart is played by Anna White. Other familiar local faces in the film are Peter Serfin, Mwangi Jahi, Nicholas Brosseau, Clay Callaway, Wade Cambern, and Trina Nahm-Mijo. The film will be followed by a question and answer session with the Director, Jesse Tunison, focusing on the challenges and lessons learned in creating a full length film. The session will be hosted by Big Island Film Commissioner, John Mason. A reception hosted by KYBC’s entrepreneurial culinary team, MAPS International, will follow in the lobby. Admission to this unique event is $5 and all proceeds will go to supporting Kea`au Youth Business Center, an award-winning program whose mission is to create, promote, and market education, arts and culture, and health projects and products created by youth to contribute to the economic viability of the County. The premiere of Rx is a kick-off event for a “Film Production and Digital Media Conference” to be held on Saturday, May 29 from 9 – 5:30 p.m. on the UH-Hilo campus. Featured guest presenters at the conference will be Rick Galendez and Roy Tjioe, partners of Island Film Group from O`ahu who directed and produced “Barbarian Princess” recently featured at the 2009 Hawai`i International Film Festival.
