It is a true honor to have NORTH STAR named as recipient of the 33rd Annual Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival 2022 Adam Baran Award. Thank you to Andrea Krauss, programmer extraordinaire, for championing us to submit the film to and thank you to everyone at for your support and enthusiasm for -thefilm. Jack Law - owner of the famed Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand in Waikiki - founded the Honolulu Adam Baran Gay Film Festival in honor of his close friend who was one of the first people he knew to fall victim to the AIDS epidemic. Inspired by Adam Baran's video editing talents, what started as a few video tapes shown at Hula's has grown to become the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival in Honor of Adam Baran and the Gay and Le***an Cultural Foundation. We are truly honored by being recognized with this award. Aloha.
