Pa'u Hana

Translated directly from the Native Hawaiian language, the phrase pa'u hana literally means after work. In reality, pa'u hana means much more. It captures the spirit of friendship. A time when friends can unwind after work and share stories and interact with one another over food and drinks. Pa'u Hana, the story, tells the adventure of Rex Palakiko and Danny Bandera. Rex and Danny are coworkers and friends who share their thoughts, dreams and philosophies on life over a few cocktails at their favorite bar on Kaua'i each day after work. Over a pa'u hana discussion one day, Rex begins to come up with a plan to make a movie which would open up a world to him beyond the confines of island life. Reluctant to change, Danny struggles as he considers whether or not to join his friend on a journey which would take them from the beauty and safety of their jobs in Hawai'i to the challenge of navigating the movie business in Los Angeles. If Danny does join Rex, can they get a film made in Hollywood? Will their dreams come true? What impact will all of this have on their lives back in Kaua'i? Join Rex and Danny on their odyssey by picking up a copy of Pa'u Hana!
