Wetsitales, a collection of animated folk tales by filmmaker Jade Dandan.
Filmmaker Bio:
Jade Dandan Evangelista aka Wetsipon is a typical kid with the love of drawing and creating. She is a digital native artist and relatively started late in her pencil skills but when the images formed, she never stopped. She expresses herself in music, coding, clay sculpting, drawing, video and animation. As of production/ submission, she is currently in grade 5 as a homeschooler at Homeschool Global - Wellspring Christian Family School.
These short films are part of a collection of animation shorts presenting individual folk tales from the regions, as a homeschool tandem, we were looking for resources that highlight our culture, though after reading some from limited online and academic references, we notice we have a lack of it.
In text books we notice they stick to a handful of classics, often remolded to super heroes, glossed up or made pop. (Disneyfied, Marvelized or sanitized.) Unlike the popular styling, we want our mermaids ending in foam and not living any ever afters. We are not looking for morals or character developments, we want to keep it pure as it was told, we wanted to pursue the intention of keeping the stories (edits are just made to be appropriate to the age level of the collaborator which is inevitable since she is part of the creation process. She is 11 years old. ) and pass it on to the next generation

Trailer: Common Fly
Join us for CAFF Saturday Night at The Honolulu Museum of Art Doris Duke Theatre on Nov 16 at 2pm featuring:
Common Fly, directed by Ian Alexander Castracane. Nobody cares about Jeff, a middle aged housefly crushed by unfulfilled expectations. A dissatisfying marriage, insufferable children, and mind-numbing job push him to try to regain control of his life.
Director Ian Castracane grew up in Eastern Massachusetts and currently attends Northwestern University in Illinois. When he isn't studying, Ian loves painting, biking, photography, and writing, and is fascinated by finding ways to combine his passions through the medium of film. Ian has worked on several of his peers' student sets at school and dreams of creating a feature animation.
Director Statement:
I've always loved stop motion animation for it's tangibility, and have found it to be the perfect crossroads between my interests in visual art and film. Common Fly began as a script reflecting my hesitancy to enter the corporate world and quickly turned into a full time passion project that has taught me so much about animation and the art of working with what you've got.

There can Only be One..., directed by Britney Fan. Upon entrance of her boyfriend’s apartment for the first time, Kat is encountered with her biggest, most unexpected rival; his cat. There can only be one to win his love and affection….So, who will it be?
Britney Fan is a 2D Animator, Concept Artist, and Painter based in LA. She graduated from University of Southern California's Film and Animation Program. She is currently working under LVMH as an Artist and Designer for Louis Vuitton, but continues to pursue her passions in the Animation world. She finds most of her inspiration from Studio Ghibli films, old Pixar shorts, and last but not least, her cat!
Director Statement:
My short film "There Can Only be One..." draws heavy inspiration from my cat's mischievous attitude and her love to battle me for attention—a truly universal experience for cat owners. I find that mundane moments like these are easily be overlooked, so I aspired to capture and emphasize playfulness through everyday life routines. Light-hearted and comedy-packed, this short aims to bring a smile to its audience and brighten their day by sharing a snippet into a chaotic, but highly realistic depiction of a day in my life.

The "Irish Goodbye," directed by @AmberAmelia Kelly. This project is set to an original song by Irish artist Sammy Copley. The song's message is something many Irish people have felt: the desire to leave their home juxtaposed with a want to stay if things could be different. The song spoke to me, personally, as a young person in Ireland facing challenges, particularly with the housing crisis, and longing to emigrate yet missing parts of Ireland that are comforting.
Director statement:
I am a 23 year old animator and artist from Kildare. I graduated from IADT with a Bachelors in Animation in 2023. I’ve always been drawn to animation and film making despite my love for all creative endeavors and really enjoy a mix of styles and mediums.
