Nihi is a fast paced ActionBiography
on world-renowned waterman Titus Nihi Kinimaka. His friends and
family provide in-depth
perspectives on the mystique
that surrounds this Hawaiian big wave surfer, stuntman and global adventurer.
Nihi is a biographical journey that exposes the essence of Hawaiian life,
its fascinating culture, and seeks to define the Aloha spirit.
As his
ancestors have for thousands of years, Titus continues to live
a life connected to the sea. Nihi is
a rich tale filled with mountainous waves,
spectacular scenery, and the life experiences of a modern Hawaiian who honors
his past by living in the future.
Kauai, the most sacred of the Hawaiian
Islands comes to vivid life through the eyes of 10 year Hawaiian
resident and two-time Emmy Award
winning cinematographer
Brooks Guyer. Vivid action and archival footage of Hawaiian life is narrated
by local surfers and Big Wave pioneers such as Darrick Doerner and Louis
Ferrera.
Audiences will be drawn to this film by its up close and personal
interviews, state of the art point of view digital technology, beautiful
cinematography,
and authentic Hawaiian soundtrack. The recent motion picture successes of
Blue Crush and XXX, and the upcoming film Break, and the epic Kamehameha
starring The Rock, prove that the world’s interest in Hawaii has never been
greater. Nihi thrusts you into the heart of a true Hawaiian with interviews
and action sequences, archival footage, photographs and captivating graphics
to create a multi-faceted action packed documentary.
