Hawaii Volcano Drama ‘Stoke’ Comes to Aloha Theater, January 4


December, 2018Hawaii-made independent film “Stoke” is coming to the Aloha Theater on January 4 or one-night only. The film, a feature length drama shot on Hawaii Island in 2017, recently won the Best Women in Film award at the Austin Indie Fest, and an Award of Merit through the IndieFest Film Awards.

Stoke follows Jane, a struggling tourist who hires two wannabe guides to take her to an active volcano. The road-trip film was partially shot in front of Kilauea volcano’s famous 2017 “lava hose”, a 40 foot river of lava pouring into the pacific ocean.

Alive with vivid Hawaiian landscapes, Stoke dips from playful to dark as the characters journey from one end of Hawaii island to the other en route to the volcano. While Jane (Caitlin Holcombe) struggles to let go of a grievous past, tension grows as Dusty (Ka’uhane Lopes) and Po (Randall Galius Junior) grapple with the tourism industry created by their volcano until an untimely detour sends the group in an unexpected direction. Also featured in the film are Hawaii-based actors Kimee Balmilero (Hawaii 5.0, Magnum PI) and Po’okela award winner Danielle Zalopany.

Stoke’s soundtrack is nearly completely comprised of Hawaii-based musicians, and features the work of Willie K, Bub Pratt, Mark Keali’i Ho’omalu, Keali’i Reichel, Anthony Garza, Uncle’s Awa band and more.

 

The film is also slated to screen across Hawaii Island, Oahu and Kauai from December through February following its recent world premiere at the Hawaii International Film Festival in November.

 

“We can’t wait to play at the Aloha Theater,” says the film’s co-director Phillips Payson. “We’ve yet to play on West Hawaii and we shot there in places like Ali’i Drive, Old Airport Road and at local print show Island Printing and Graphics.”

The filmmakers and various will be in attendance for Q&A following the film. Tickets are $12 for general admission, and can be purchased online in advance here: https://red.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?t=tix&e=ae40e7d796a60a581919b06c84dc08ae
