Director Statement This is not about the history of burlesque. It would take an entire series of films to do the entire history of burlesque.
The history of burlesque in Hawaii specifically with its diverse cultures and military influences with political turmoil and its isolated location and self sustainment and meaningfulness in the universe juxtaposed with the taboo of nudity and performance is just the backdrop to the artists that have taken in all of this history and have created something beautiful.
This film is about burlesque here in Hawaii now with all of these amazing performers. A glimpse into this world that people can only dream of being invited to. A wild crazy adventure with passionate skilled sexy creatives in the amazing setting, of paradise itself.
This film is about Panda Sal and Madame X and everyone in the scene. How they heard about burlesque, how they became involved, and how it has changed their lives. Empowerment. Vulnerability. Love. Acceptance.
My ultimate goal with this film is for someone's conservative granny or uncle or whatever to see this film and think, "Hey you know, it's really not what I had thought it was. It's actually beautiful. I think I might want to see my granddaughter's show". Or maybe "I think I want to take a Burlesque class". I really want to make a change in people's lives and help the people you love that may not understand to open up and experience the joy of burlesque too.
