Booooooom's dreamy creativity short shot in Hawaii

Jeff from Booooooom got in touch with us at the end of last week to share their latest film profiling a number of creatives invited out to Hawaii for POW! WOW! festival. Held every February, the street art festival sees artists descend onto the island of Oahu to celebrate art, music and culture.

The 15 minute film, Heavy Dreamers is directed by David Ehrenreichand with cinematography by Liam Mitchell and shares insights about how each of the artists got to where they are now, their motivations behind their work and a glimpse into their process. It feels intimate and personal and the pace is similar to how I imagine the island to be.
