To You Sweetheart, Aloha

MID-LENGTH DOC

To You Sweetheart, Aloha

Director: S. Leo Chiang and
Mercedes Coats
Filmmaker in person
"Aloha" means hello, goodbye, love, and here's how (as a toast). These multiple meanings, interfused, create the spirit of TO YOU SWEETHEART, ALOHA, which follows the 94th year in the life of the colorful and charismatic Honolulu-born ukulele master, Bill Tapia. While mourning the death of his wife and only daughter, he finds a muse in 26-year- old Alyssa Archambault, his manager and friend, who helps him connect to his past and rebuild a future in music. Through the journey of this unconventional friendship, Bill arrives unexpectedly at the pinnacle of his musical career and learns to forge an independent life for himself after having outlived everyone he loves. (2004, 57 min.) Preceded by live music from local Hawaiian slack key guitar master Michael Arago.
Showing: May 18, 5pm,  MTC

  • Very touching movie about the friendship of a young woman and an older man. Great music! A feel good movie.
