The video was created to tell the story of Mayor Kawakami in a way that connected his leadership, vision, and personality to the community he serves. It also served as a reflection of my journey with the Mayor’s Office team, bringing together the skills I had developed through years of collaboration.
— PURPOSE
A 7-minute feature video introducing Mayor Derek Kawakami, combining interview storytelling, archival footage I had captured over the years, and a polished narrative edit.
— PRODUCT
During my winter break from the University of Colorado Boulder, I returned to the County of Kauaʻi Mayor’s Office to take on a culminating project. I storyboarded and pitched the concept to the Mayor’s communications team, then conducted a full interview with Mayor Derek Kawakami to serve as the narrative anchor. Filming took place across multiple years of my time with the office, while editing was completed in one week during my final days home for break. The entire project was written, shot, and edited by me.
