Kwan film to make Hawai'i premiere
By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer
"Sunshine," a film by Norbert Meisel, is about an aspiring young pianist (Cheyenne Rushing) who leaves a troubled life in California to search for her footloose musician father (former Honolulu resident John Phillip Law) who abandoned her as a child. Kwan plays Miss Lily, a jazz club owner, who befriends the pianist. Kwan co-produced the film with Meisel, who did the screenplay with executive producer Rae Rodgers.
The premiere will feature entertainment by Nohelani Cypriano and the Beautiful Hawai'i Revue. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the program starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $28, available at the Hawai'i Theatre (528-0506, www.hawaiitheatre.com) or through the O'ahu Rotary Clubs. A private reception at the Plaza Club precedes the premiere; for tickets and VIP seating ($175), call 284-5413.
