Lami Kava is proud to announce its sponsorship for the production of “Jone Wise” – A short film created by a local team of aspiring filmmakers concentrated on the comical look of the realities of grog sessions and the unspoken rule of flip flops ownership!
‘When someone steals his precious flip flops, Jone Wise must return to his old ways of Grog Combat and battle his way through adversity, tribulation and high tide takis to retrieve what is rightfully his.’
Lami Kava has thrown its financial support behind this production by donating to the film’s budget.
“As one of Fiji’s premier leading kava suppliers, Lami Kava has always shared a commitment to breaking barriers when it comes to creativity, people and community partnerships.
This project is an incredible initiative that showcases the level of skill and expertise we have right here in Fiji. We will continue to expand our community engagement efforts to support local talent.”
Donny Yee, Managing Director of Lami Kava Pte Limited said.
The production, spearheaded by Director Meli Tuqota premiered on March 17th for special viewing and earmarked for public release March 31st 2023 via Lami Kava’s Youtube and Facebook page.
“This initiative is a creative effort from a pool of local enthusiasts with common aspirations – a collaboration of artists with a shared vision to harness their skill sets and bring our Fijian way of life to the screen, albeit in a funny way.” Meli Tuqota concluded.
