    Shaka Contest Sponsor Opportunity

    “Shaka, the Power of Aloha” is a documentary that includes a live Shaka Contest slated for Spring 2022. A crowd of 6,000 attendees, both visitors and locals are expected at Sunset on the Beach, Waikiki. While the contest is intended to become an annual event, the inaugural event is the final production shot for the film’s opening GREEN ROOM SCENE (to drive a flashback quest to discover the proper way to throw a Shaka) and a GRAND FINALE SCENE (to make the concept of aloha and ohana visible).

    The Event

    During the event, Hawaii’s top film and TV director, Bryan Spicer and Sight & Sound Productions will produce scenes for the film. Operations involving multiple cameras, booms and drones will be part of the experience. Audience members have a chance to be in the film. Key scenes include:

    • GREEN ROOM scene in the early afternoon.
    • RED CARPET arrival segment.
    • SHAKA SHOW featuring: Sneak-peeks and behind-the-scenes segments on a large projection screen; Music sets including the film’s soundtrack songs and anthem, “Power of Aloha” performed by Henry Kapono and Hawai‘i headliners, and; A Shaka Contest reprising Kupuna from the film as judges.

    Social Influencers & Press

    The event is designed to empower social media influencers by providing key access in the form of stagefront corrals. Corrals will be sponsored by social platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. Top influencers will be pre-credentialed and additional influencers will be admitted on-site as space permits. Influencers will also have Red Carpet access to arriving VIPs. A friendly competition among Corrals as groups will be held to determine which groups get SWAG bags of varying levels (perks may be tied to sponsor messaging goals and film production fundraising). Traditional Press will be afforded a Press Tent and Red Carpet access.

    Sponsorship Opportunities

    This film is an opportunity to be tied to Hawai‘i, the Aloha Spirit and the Shaka.

    SHAKA CONTEST TITLE SPONSORSHIP: $150,000 by a single sponsor or split by multiple sponsors to complete funding for a 30-minute documentary.
