Four University of Hawaiʻi media students showcased their works in front of a national audience.

Films by UH Mānoa Academy for Creative Media (ACM) spring 2020 graduates Gavin Arucan and Suky Zhao, and Kapiʻolani Community College New Media Arts (NMA) students Hannah Woodward and Raleigh Harris, were selected for the Class of 2020 Animation Virtual Showcase, hosted by the International Animated Film Association (ASIFA)-Hollywood Animation Educator’s Forum.

ACM is very proud of the films created by Gavin and Suky,” said Christine Acham, ACM Mānoa chair. “As seniors, they were an important part of the 2020 animation cohort. The acceptance of their films into this competitive showcase is symbolic of the bright future that lies ahead for these graduates.”

“I’m proud to say that Kapiʻolani‘s New Media Arts program is a part of this international showcase,” said Adam Moura, Kapiʻolani CC’s NMA coordinator and assistant professor. “It shines a light on the dedication and talent of our students.”
