What we do.
LU FASIAITU,
the novel and film project.
Lu Fasiaitu is the story of a warrior from the distant history of the islands of Samoa in the South Pacific. This warrior was a Navigator and Explorer who followed in the footsteps of his Grand Father and Father, both renown for their feats of courage in the discovery, exploration and settling of the many islands that now are known as Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.
This is a story that is epic in it's setting and adventures. The original Samoan tale is told of the God Tagaloa who came down from heaven and stole Lu's chickens. Lu then went looking for his chickens through the 9 heavens where he defeated Tagaloa's forces until they came face to face in the 9th heaven. That decisive battle was won by Lu. Thus he has the title Fasiaitu, which means "he who slays Ghosts or Gods".
The tale as told in this version borrows from the scientific discoveries made in modern times that show the DNA of pre-Eusropean chickens found in the Americas, actually came from the South Pacific. This allows the story teller to expand on the Navigation skills that Polynesians have been acknowledged as having and excelling in prior to European Voyagers that came to the South Pacific only to find that the islands were inhabited by a race that had the basic same language and culture from Hawaii to New Zealand to Tahiti.
Captain Cook who is credited with 'discovering' Hawaii and New Zealand, acknowledges that the South Pacific navigators were superior to him and his compatriot "Johnny come lately Discoverers". He and other explorers actually brought Polynesians with them to show them how to get to the various islands in this vast Pacific Ocean, which they knew how to navigate like it was gong to their local store. In this story Lu's son is kidnapped by one of Tagaloa's priests, which is why Lu follows them and wages war against Tagaloa, to get his son back. This cat and mouse game went through the 9 realms of Tagaloa's Kingdom, which was known as the 9 Heavens. Tagaloa, a God/Emporer, actually lived in the Americas. Back then it was known of as the Turtle. Lu pursues these thieves and kidnappers all the way to Tagaloa's Capital. These are the cities of the pyramids of the Maya and other native American tribes.
Thus this is an epic saga of war, family, love and betrayal. The backdrop is the majestic and huge Pacific Ocean, known to the people of the Pacific or Kanaka Maoli as the Vasa Loaloa. The travel to civilizations on Asia to America, is not as far-fetched as some may believe, because the Polynesians were capable with their swift ocean sailing vessels and their knowledge of the ocean, the stars and their environment; to sail and discover the lands to the East and West of their homelands. Please enjoy the first 3 chapters in here. More will be available once we have a deal for the production of the full length film, that will be an amazing visual feast, stretching from Asia to North and South America, and everywhere in between.

Film Projects
Le Fasiaitu

Lu Fasiaitu is a novel and animated series, with a projected movie in the works eventually. This about the Navigator and warrior Lu Fasiaitu, from Fagaloa, who had some of chickens stolen by Tagaloa, the most powerful God of Polynesia. He was angry enough to fight through the 9 heavens against Tagaloa's armies until he came to the 9th heaven where he fought and beat Tagaloa;s army. Tagaloa then offered his daughter to Lu as a wife to appease him. Lu accepted and returned in peace. This story has been enlarged to accommodate the various stories that make this an epic adventure spanning from Asia to the Pacific and eventually to the Americas, where Tagaloa resides. All because of some chickens. Well the story expands on that based on recent scientific evidence that the chickens found in the Americas originated in the South Pacific. This is according to their DNA.
Sina and the Eel

Another feature film, is Sina and the Eel. This is a romantic story that will reveal how the coconut tree was created.
Lauaki le Toa

The other movie Pacific Winds will be working on is Lauaki Mamoe, le Toa.
The High Talking Chief from Safotulafai was the initiator of a Mau movement or Protest movement that began with the district of Fa'asaleleaga on the big island of Savaii. The Pule faction of Samoa united behind Lauaki to contest the authority of Germany to rule over Samoa as a colony. Samoa had been the center of political power in the Pacific for many generations and they were not easily convinced that the Germans were authorized to be their colonial masters. The phrase Samoa mo Samoa symbolized his determination that Samoa was for Samoans to rule, not outsiders. During this mostly peaceful conflict Lauaki initiated peaceful protest as the means for disobeying the powerful Germans. The German Governor was unable to intimidate the Samoans who stood with Lauaki and the Mau a Pule. He eventually exiled him and the chiefs from Safotulafai to Saipan. This story is one of determination and the bold actions of a leader who would not concede the power to foreigners. This movement eventually was adopted by the other political faction of Tumua, and they used the same tactic of public disobedience before Ghandi or MLK. They succeeded in 1962 when New Zealand granted their petition for independence and Samoa became the first independent nation in the Pacific. This will be a movie with live actors.
Nafanua, the Priestess Warrior

Nafanua was the first to unify Samoa into a nation. Her prowess on the field as a warrior was legendary and she led her army to victory against all factions in Samoa coming away with all the high ranking titles and she unified Samoa under her rule.
Pili the Conqueror

Pili was a warrior of legendary status. He went into the ocean when there was a sea serpent that was attacking the vessels travelling between islands in Samoa, and he slayed the sea serpent single handedly. He has many stories attributed to his extraordinary ability to excel and succeed. Later, the High Priest in the islands of Hawaii, Pa'ao, came to Samoa and asked Pili to go to Hawaii and become the King of the big island, Hawaii. Pili agreed and he is the progenitor for the Kamehameha line of Royalty in Hawaii.
