FY 2002 was a great year for marketing film throughout the State and Maui County. The Maui County Film Office placed newly designed ads in the Hawaii Production Index as well as the Hollywood Reporter, LA, and NY 411, The Hollywood Creative directory, and many other publications.

We will begin another exciting and extensive ad campaign in FY 2003.

To maximize exposure of the film office, Maui County worked closely with the Film Offices of the Hawaiian Islands (the four County Film offices). We worked as a group at Conventions, Film Festivals, and Trade Shows. The Film Offices also hosted a successful reception at the Sundance Film Festival with many of the Industry Executives in attendance.

The Maui County Film Office continues to support the efforts of the Maui Film Festival, The Hawaii International Film Festival, The Maui Writers Conference, and the Hawaii Filmmakers Initiative. The Maui Film Festival continues into it's Fourth Year.

FY 2002 had Clint Eastwood honored as the Silversword recipient. Because the festival is truly about films it's a cultural positive for the Community of Maui. FY 2003 should be a banner year for the Festival and the Island of Maui.
