WAI'ANAE - A vision born in a Wai'anae High School classroom is quickly
taking root in a fledgling video production and multimedia design company
housed in Makaha's old Coronet Building and built around a nucleus of
fresh-faced technicians in their teens and early 20s.
Makaha Studios has no "studio," and not even enough paint to complete
interior renovations of the former real estate office turned production
facility.
Yet in just eight months the for-profit start-up - the offshoot of a
phenomenally successful high school media education program - has attracted
so much interest that it is booked through December to produce, shoot or
edit commercials, promotional videos and public service announcements for
clients ranging from local businesses to television stations and government
agencies.
But Makaha Studios' greatest potential may lie in what it could mean to the
area's young people.
