Library offers a look at TV, film work

The television and film industry brought $200 million into Hawai'i's economy last year. Want to know more about this exciting field?

The Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library is scheduled to host "Seeing Stars," a weekly series of free programs throughout September that will present an introduction and overview of the television and film industry. All programs will be at the library from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.

The schedule and presenters:

Tomorrow — The Academy of Creative Media, University of Hawai'i-Manoa. Aimed mainly at high school students, this program covers how to create award-winning films and features the results of promising filmmakers.

Sept. 16 — Actor Dann Seki. A local actor who has appeared in television shows including "Lost" and "Magnum, P.I.," Seki will share his secrets on how you can earn money by working as an extra.

Sept. 23 — The Hawai'i Film Office with Donne Dawson. Learn how this office helps to attract film projects that stimulate Hawai'i's economy.

Sept. 30 — Film producer Margaret South. The film industry evolves around developing a story. Learn the "Art of Story" from South.

The programs are suitable for people 12 and older and will include question-and-answer sessions. Call the library two weeks in advance if a sign-language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed for any of these programs.

For details, call 831-6831.
