Although my Wife and I have gotten into tiki late in our lives, we have alway been into Cocktails, going back to the Eighties revival, here in the UK, with Films like Tom Cruise Cocktail, and later as part of the 1940s Swing/50s Rcokabilly revival scene. Cocktails just go with the music. In recent years, we have developed an imnterest in tropicval garden desing, and yes, you guessed it, just had to add our very own garden Tiki Bar, to set it off. Not into the takcy stuff that you cvan get from cheap shops, but look for vintage stuff or making our own tiki items. Fortunately, therte is a grerat carver of Tikis here in the UK. Very excited by this project, hope it gets completed.

It's in post production now but the film needs more funding for the next steps (animation, music, archival footage, color correction, etc). If all goes well, it's projected for a 2023 Q1 release.
Yes and No. The first test screening happened this past Sunday at "Tiki in Waikiki" however, it was a test screening. The final premiere will happen soon after adjustments are made with notes from the test screening.
Oh my … This is gonna be the docu of the year, so awesome.
Cora “Sunny” Sund was my Great Aunt.. just love seeing what you’ve put together here. Can’t wait to see it when completed!! Bravo!
Jeff wearing a muumuu is precious :)

So stoked for this! I just ordered one of the Donn of Tiki Zombie glasses too!
Hopefully, whatever amount of newbies this brings to the scene, they get into THIS type of Tiki, not the current Star Wars/Disney crap.
This looks like it is going to be great. Can't wait to watch. I am always looking for a great doc.
They should make a documentary on Oceanic Arts too
That would be cool!

This is so exciting! I love that the producers
are telling the whole story. The ending was beyond! It’s time to start sharing this trailer everywhere.
Wish my father was still alive to watch this. He knew Donn and was also in the bar and restaurant business. I remember him talking about it.
Awesome! Who was your father?
