Philadelphia based filmmaker Gary San Angel and animator Rocky Kev combine both documentary and story board animation in 'The KoAloha Ukulele Story'. The film is based on the true story of Alvin Okami, the famous “Renaissance Man” of Hawaii who is an acclaimed inventor, musician, composer, and spontaneous idea man. Alvin takes us down memory lane with his local 'Talk Story' approach and shares with us his heartfelt story of how he started KoAloha from a bankrupt plastics and manufacturing company to being one of the first ukulele makers to create a playable, tunable, miniature ukulele.

This film reminds you to listen to the voice in your heart which guides you when you least expect it. Extraordinary story board animation and editing by Rocky Kev and Gary San Angel. I was blown away by how well the heart-felt story-telling of Alvin Okami was portrayed. Every person should see this film.... young, old, boy or girl... it is inspirational, funny, poetic, and reminds us all of the endless possibilities that surround us - sometimes all it takes is a little hope and faith that there is something else out there greater than all of us, gently guiding us, even during the most difficult times in our lives.
