2012 Film Festival: A Birthday Wish



Here is our entry to this year's Manaiakalani Film Festival. As a class we wanted everyone to take part in creating our movie. Every person had a part to play from learning lyrics and singing them, drawing graphics for the background, dancing and acting. Our movie is about a young girl who has a birthday and daydreams about the things she would really like, from meeting One Direction to driving a racing car. Please leave us a comment when you've finished viewing and we will be sure to share the love. Click here to see entries from 2011.

From Miss Lavakula and Room 9

Angelo's Narrative


On Saturday morning me and my family went t othe rain forest to see what animals we could find. As we were walkingwe found a herd of ducks in a pond then we feed them some bread so the ducks moved to the side. Then we walked through the pond. My brother said “when are we going to get home?”. “Not long”, replied dad then we saw a pack of wolves. So we feed them 20 pieces of steak. They didn’t finish so we walked around them. Then we saw hedgehogs and we fed them snails off the trees. We saw a big bear. We had no food to feed it so we threw hedgehogs to it. I picked up some meat and threw it at him too. The bear ran away, “lucky” I said.

By Angelo

Rosalina's Narrative



One day Sandy and Michael went to camp in the forest. They packed everything that they needed. They always need a tent, a water bottle and a toilet paper. Just in case they need to go toilet. When it was night time they set out their tent. Sandy went out to get some wood for the fire. She came back to the place. But something was wrong, her brother was missing. “Michael!” she shouted. She looked everywhere even the toilet. She saw his footprints leading to a road. She thought about it. Sandy thought and said in her mind “he’s been kidnapped!” She kept on following the footprints. She stopped and met a man holding balloons she said the strange man “have you seen my brother?”. “No” he said, he said it in a strange voice. Are you sure? cause it sounds like you know him said Sandy. “No, I’m really sure about it” he said. Sandy found her brother Michael, he was at the shop all along. She said did you trick me? No he said.
