A Message from the Heart
The videos you see here are creative expressions of a deep love for the Hawaiian Islands—for the powerful ocean, the vibrant land, and the wonderful people who live here and visit. They are intended as an inspiration for everyone to follow their dreams and live a life guided by the heart.
These creations are brought to life using modern AI tools. While this technology allows for new forms of storytelling, I am aware of its limitations. My goal is to always portray Hawaiʻi and its culture in a beautiful, authentic, and deeply respectful way. I hold the Hawaiian culture in the highest regard and am continuously learning.
One of the significant challenges with current AI technology is the lack of support for the Hawaiian language (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi) by major technology companies like Google. Although Google supports over 170 languages worldwide, Hawaiian is not yet one of them. As Hawaiʻi is a state of the USA, this beautiful and historically rich language deserves to be recognized and preserved. This oversight can sometimes result in mispronunciations in the audio and music of my videos.
I believe that reviving and celebrating this beautiful part of history is essential. There should be a way forward, and I hope that by raising awareness, we can encourage companies to support the Hawaiian language and, in turn, its culture.
Thank you for watching and for your understanding.
