Aloha Also Means Goodbye is a story of the past colliding with the present. When lovers from long ago meet unexpectedly decisions need to be made - kind of a "do I" or "don't I" scenario. Filmed on the island of Maui, a stunning visual character in itself, the story unfolds and emotional depths are revealed. Can their love truly fade or will the right time reveal itself to rekindle?

The story of a struggling couple coping with their relationship and a new baby, when an old flame inadvertently re-enters the picture. Re-united through a business trip to Maui, young Alice takes a soulful journey of "what-could-have-been and what-could-still-be." This film features a great premise and is beautifully shot and thought-provoking, featuring some very nice acting, although at times a little wandering script. Acting performances are solid with Stephanie Lynn featured as Alice Monrow and Evan Gamble, as her re-united Maui love interest Taylor Hargrove. Director Bryden Lando is skillful with both cast and using the island location as a character of its own. Scenes are often beautifully shot, although at times the sounds of the breathtaking scenery seems to take over the audio track, which certainly speaks to the indie nature of this film. While not perfect, this is a nice little indie and my take is: RECCOMEND. My Rating: 🎥🎥🎥🎥 (four of five film canisters)
