The opening of Akakūʻs Lana'i Media Center has made it possible to better serve the entire Maui County and feature programs about life on Lana'i. The Lanai Media Center currently offers certification classes in Camera and Editing, each at a cost of $40 per class. For those in financial need we offer a discount on this price. The center is equipped with the following gear with 2 Sony HD1000u High Definition Camera packages which include, tripods, microphones and Apple iMac G5 Computers with Final Cut Pro and internet access.
We encourage Lanai community members to take advantage of the camera and editing certification classes and the media tools offered. Share your stories and creativity with the other islands. We also accept any videos that you have already made and would like to have aired (hunting, opinion, documentary, etc). Open Mics/Hot Sets are also available for community members. Both are free of charge and provide an opportunity for all residents of Maui County to speak in front of a camera on any topic of their choosing. There are some restrictions regarding "calls to action" and the mention of money. For more information on Open Mics/Hot Sets, contact the Lana'i office.
Two Lana'i programs are currently being featured on the Akaku channels 52, 53 and 54. Festivals of Aloha Lana'i 2011 and Castle & Cookeʻs Lana'i Community Meeting which was held on October 4th, 2011. The airdates for both programs can be found below.
