Creative Lab Hawaii
Michael Andres Palmeri
Michael Palmeri will forever be my good friend and mentor. Michael was the lead man during my time in the Film Immersive for Creative Lab Hawaii. I was fortunate to have been one of a handfull of filmmakers selected to accompany Michael and Georja Skinner to attend the American Film Market (AFM). He go me to believe in myself. I owe everything I ever do with making movies is because of Michael.

Georja Skinner
Georja Skinner is an amazing woman. I consider myself lucky to have her as my friend. She is the Chief Officer of the Creative Industries Division (CID) in the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT) where she has lead the state’s efforts to define, build and strengthen Hawaii’s creative economy since 2007. Skinner’s career in prime time television lead to an Emmy nomination for sound mixing, the first woman to hold this honor. She lead the sound department for shows including All in the Family, The Jefferson’s before relocating from her home town of Hollywood, California in 1980 to the island of Maui.
