A note from our friend, Jeremy Spear, director and producer of the feature length film “FASTPITCH”. Though this note is not about fastpitch, Jeremy’s earlier film has provided a tremendous amount of exposure for the game, so we thought one good turn deserved another. We understand that “Fastpitch” (The Movie) is being sought for the New York Baseball Film Festival. We wish him the best in all of his endeavors, and if for some reason, you haven’t seen “Fastpitch” (The Movie), click here for details. It’s available on DVD.

Aloha Friends! If you missed the ESPN broadcasts in February please catch it here in New York City at Pacifika 2005. Pacifika is the brainchild of my wife Janu and her partner Michelle Akina of the Hawaii Cultural Foundation. Now in its 3rd year, Pacifika is a special one-of-a-kind festival that has no true counterpart, even in Hawaii, Aotearoa or other Pacific locales. Please spread the word. At Sunday Night’s screening, Tama Waipara who contributed brilliant tracks for Polynesian Power will also play live music during the event. Rumor has it that American Samoan Congressman Eni Faleomavaega will also honor us with his attendance and I will conduct a Q&A after the screening. Keep an eye out for NBC-TV critic Jeffrey Lyons and his round-up review of Pacifika onFriday am May 20th on Today in New York. Hope to see you there. Please pass this along – It should be a great night!
Peace and aloha,
JeremyFor all info on Pacifika 2005 please go to: Pacifika.org
