Sneak Peak for our followers as we launch production of this historical, romantic, fantasy interwoven with the legacy of kī hōʻalu:

Mālama Kō Aloha / Keep Your Love – Announcing our Paniolo Epic Romance a Series for TV:

Mālama Kō Aloha reimagines a timeless narrative of forbidden love through the unique lens of Hawai‘i’s history. Spanning from 1793—when cattle first arrived on the islands—to the 1819 Battle of Kuamo‘o, where clashing ideologies erupted in bloodshed, and into modern-day Hawai‘i, the story follows generations scarred by conflict yet united in their pursuit of healing.

In present-day Waimea, Kapono—a dedicated paniolo and slack key guitarist—struggles to sustain his family’s ranching legacy against encroaching development on ancestral lands. His romance with Nāwahī, a determined activist and traditional hula practitioner, is challenged by an enduring family feud that dates back to the island’s turbulent past. With Nāwahī’s sister, Kaimana—a force of retribution reminiscent of mythic figures—the conflict deepens, symbolizing the ongoing battle between modernity and tradition. This forbidden romance—echos the universal essence of a classic tale of star-crossed love—intertwines legend, tradition, and change as they fight to preserve their cultural heritage amid relentless transformation.
