The Emmy went to the third season of the Reel W\u0101hine<\/em><\/a> series, a compilation of six short films that showcase the work of veteran Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> filmmakers. Reel W\u0101hine of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/em> 3 aired in March 2022 on PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and is currently streaming for a limited time on PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zambonelli, who teaches Creative Media (CM<\/abbr>) 401: Creative Professionals and CM<\/abbr> 150: Film Analysis and Storytelling courses, directed two of the six short films. Another of the short films was directed by Heather H. Giugni, cultural collections specialist and producer at ʻUluʻulu:<\/span> The Henry Kuʻualoha<\/span> Giugni Moving Image Archive of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The series is produced by Honolulu-based non-profit Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Women in Filmmaking<\/a> (HWF<\/abbr>), whose mission is to create more opportunities for women in front of and behind the camera, according to a press release. The films are told through the eyes of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>-based female directors and crafted by all-women film crews.<\/p>\n

“Each season of Reel W\u0101hine of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/em> spotlights the work and creative inspirations of six Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> women filmmakers,” Thompson said in a press release. “We tell the stories of women who have produced and directed well-known local films as well as camerawomen, editors and animators behind the scenes whose creativity helps bring local films to life.”<\/p>\n

Zambonelli, who is also the founder and executive director of HWF<\/abbr>, added, “It\u2019s so important that we document and celebrate the pioneering women who paved the way and helped build the local independent film industry, as well as new rising stars who continue to create groundbreaking work.”<\/p>\n
