Synopsis
Steve Ma`i`i is a documentary that covers some of the life and times of Hawaiian musician Steve Ma`i`i. The director of the film happens to be the son of Steve Ma`i`i.
As a boy, the director would hear these fascinating stories about his father, but the stories were never told by his father but by others. Stories of playing music throughout Vietnam, stories of drugs, sex and alcohol, the life of a musician, and stories of a Hawaiian revolution, the director tried to fulfill his childhood curiosities by the making of this documentary. Although Steve Ma`i`i still managed to elude some of the stories that the director hoped to shoot, the subject did open up to a lot of subjects for the first that are priceless that the director could just drown in. It is still an amazement to the director the small levels of recognition of this documentary, thinking that this would simply be just be a fancy home video. Never the less the piece is warm and is has given the Ma`i`i family a lot of joy.
