Award Winning Film POPOLO is available at VIMEO DIGITAL ON DEMAND
Popolo is a tale about a seasoned Special Forces officer who arrives in Hawaii to fulfill a dream for his best friend that was killed in action. However, turning a piece of property located in a seedy part of Oahu into a Mixed Martial Arts Academy brings problems involving racism, a forbidden relationship, and the notorious Yakuza. This feature film is directed by up and coming first time filmmaker Edo Natasha and stars Quantae Love. “POPOLO” has been awarded ten prestigious awards, including:
1) Box Office Award at Cineflix Film Festival
2) Best First Feature and Best Lead Actor at WorldFest Houston International Film Festival
3) Best Feature Film at the International Filmmaker of World Cinema in London
4) Van Gogh Award for Independent Spirit Film at Amsterdam Film Festival.
The secret of this project’s success lies within the local talent in Hawaii – a revolutionary team of young and diverse independent filmmakers emerge from the streets of Hawaii ranging from ages 21 to 28 with strong local casts. The story tells an authentic tale of love and acceptance through diverse and heartfelt characters, while at the same time confronting a very specific local issue in a way that broader audiences can easily understand.
