Early Reviews

Some reactions to the work-in-progress:

"Intuitive and natural storytelling--a documentary about Jason Scott Lee's chosen life-style on his Big Island farm that feels just beautiful in rhythm, content, visuals, and mood. One is swept away with the joy of it all."

--Jeannette Paulson Hereniko, filmmaker
founder, Hawaii International Film Festival

"It's quite brilliant. It addresses all the things Jason has always wanted to be known about his exodus from the craziness of Los Angeles."

--Brook Lee, TV producer/actor
former Miss Universe

"PBS Hawaii is committed to raising awareness about environmental protection and cultural preservation, two issues that are of critical importance to the Hawaiian Islands. Because '[Toward] Living Pono' will document Jason Lee's confronting these areas head on, it is completely in keeping with our mission. We look forward to consulting with the producer of this film."

--Ed McNulty
