At Pacific Winds Productions, we specialize in creating captivating stories that celebrate the rich culture and beauty of the Pacific Islands.

What we do.

Le Malae Media

The News from our Samoan Community. Samoa is a gathering place of information, events and culture. Our Le Malae Media is designed to provide the latest news and stories that are important to our Samoan community. The information is presented from various reporters and writers from the Samoan community world wide. Our stories celebrate the Samoan experience whether it be politics, health, sports, education or any events which are noteworthy for the Samoan community and diaspora. This is a service we provide using written reports and podcast when available. Our Le Malae Podcast is coming soon. We anticipate our own TV channel soon.


Video  and Film Production

We have expertise in creating videos and films. We have a team that can write, produce the documentary, commercial, film, and any video content, using top equipment and software. Our team has directors, actors, voice over actors, lighting, audio engineers and editors. We can create websites and marketing for digital media content if needed. to be associated with this project. There are projects which we are already working on:

 

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. 

Writing Scripts, Novels, Short stories, Illustrated Novels, Comics, News articles 

Writing Stories that are from the Pacific perspective is what we can do. Novels, scripts for movies or TV shows, News reports, Commercials, Marketing, Presentations for businesses or proposals and any other creative writing needed. Our expertise also enters the legal field where we have the ability to draft letters, pleadings, contracts and law and motion documents. Our team has the ability to research and access specific information needed. We also have the ability to use A I for the purpose of drafting various written projects if we need to speed up the process. In other words we can provide top quality written documents and stories in a reasonable time.
