I and a completely full theater saw Nadya Wynd's film At Her Feet tonight. Nadya wrote directed and produced this well told story with beautiful cinematography ,a great cast and meaningful and sensitive regard for the Hawaiian culture. From the moment the film began we, the audience, were pulled into the majestic beauty of the land and the depth of Spirit presence that holds these islands- in particular Pele on the Big Island. Nadya let her characters reveal themselves to us which made them very familiar and understandable without feeling contrived. We moved right along with them on their journey across the lava fields as all their relations with each other unfolded and we felt their affection and care, dangers and fears, resentments and torment, courage and willingness to find right action, purpose and human kindness. I respect how Nadya made sure her story was told as she felt it needed to be told- by writing, directing and producing this beautiful story all by herself! And i sincerely hope whatever needs to happen will happen so the movie going public can see and enjoy this wonderful film!
