Currently in development, This Side of Paradise is a Dramedy feature film that follows Mahina Davis, a resilient Hawaiian teenager hardened by loss and poverty. Working at a tourist-filled resort, Mahina wants nothing to do with music—the one thing her late mother cherished most. Dreaming of escape, she unexpectedly finds herself thrust into the spotlight through a national talent competition. As Mahina chases a path to fame, she begins to realize that true healing, identity, and wealth aren't found in success alone, but in the family, culture, and community she once tried to leave behind.
