Kilauea - The Fire Within

Vimeo description:

Available in 4K, The Fire Within is a visceral, artistic study on the Big Island of Hawaii's hyperactive Kilauea volcano. I was born and raised on the island and all my life up until last year I hadn't had the chance to come face to face with her incredible presence.
Many in Hawaii refer to the lava as 'Pele', the Hawaiian goddess of fire. After our incredible experiences at the volcano it's not hard to see why so many islanders to this day see her as a living breathing thing. I wanted to capture her beauty and mysteriousness as well as her unimaginable power in the best way that I knew how. I wanted to just see it doing what it does. I shied away from any human interaction and turned the cameras to the fiery blood of the Earth.
This six and a half minute film is my best attempt at capturing what it felt like to witness molten rock slowly burning down a dense wet rainforest or to peer into a six-hundred-foot-wide lava lake at Kilauea's summit crater. I've never been anywhere else on the planet that demanded as much respect and awareness for the natural environment around me. Her unexpected beauty and unsettling sense of danger were nothing short of humbling and put so much into perspective. Kilauea really did change my life.
Huge thanks to those who supported this film along the way, especially Wes and Stefan for contributing so much time and talent to make this thing what it is. Kilauea - The Fire Within was produced out of pocket and with complete creative freedom.
