IMPRINT

IMPRINT

What does it mean to be connected to our food? What is the balance between taking life and giving life? Based on the North Shore of O’ahu, IMPRINT is the separate yet connected story of two souls. Shane Hamamoto, who has lost the ability to spearfish and dive, from barometric trauma now expresses his passion for the ocean through Gyotaku - the traditional art of Japanese fish printing. Alishiya Holland, young spearfisherwoman from the Big Island of Hawai’i, has taken her love for the ocean to support her family and as an outlet through nature. She recognizes that she is growing up in an age of abundance and grocery stores - the aching unnaturalness of modern amenities has had her resort back to the thrill of the hunt. We follow her life as she navigates the taboos and rewards associated with spearfishing. director BENJAMIN ONO director of photography MATT HEIRAKUJI drone operator MATT HEIRAKUJI water cinematography BENJAMIN ONO original score & mix NASH HOWE special thanks OUTSIDE TV www.benjaminono.com https://ift.tt/2G3GQTi
