New Controversial Film at HIFF highlights republican candidates Aiona & Finnegan’s candid views on Civil Unions

Today, the official website for the movie, Chasing Rainbows is offering the opportunity to download EXCLUSIVE uncut-uncensored out-takes from two of the film’s interviews with the Hawaii Republican team of Lt. Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona , Jr. and Representative Lynn Finnegan.

Chasing Rainbows is Hawaii based Director Greg Andermann’s latest film and portrays an unbiased, mid-line, centric overview of the battle between the Evangelical Church and the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) communities over Civil Unions in Hawaii and Same Sex Marriage in California.

Chasing Rainbows has its World Premiere in this year’s Hawaii International Film Festival with show times of: Saturday October 16th at 7:30PM and Thursday October 21st at 3:30PM.

In addition to the film being highly educational and entertaining, it openly portrays many of Hawaii’s most prominent politicians, clergy and psychologists, and other people from all walks of life discussing the issues of same sex unions.

The Aiona and Finnegan interviews were conducted in 2009, during the production of the film in the heat of the battle over Civil Unions in Hawaii. Director Greg Andermann commented that: “We are releasing this footage today in an effort to provide the general public with an inside view to the political process in Hawaii and the people that are our elected officials.” Andermann went on to point out that, “Chasing Rainbows is unique in that it deeply examines the people behind both sides of the issue, their thinking processes, their emotions and their lives. One thing is for sure – I haven’t seen anyone yet who has seen the film whom isn’t left thinking and wanting to discuss the issues we present.”

As a follow-up to the two showings at this year’s HIFF, Chasing Rainbows is conducting a live Forum on Civil Unions and Civil Rights October 29th at 6:30PM at the Architecture Auditorium at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Forum will be moderated by Dan Boylan and is sponsored by The William S. Richardson School of Law, The Psychology Honor Society, and The Hawaii International Film Festival.

Today Chasing Rainbows also announced that it’s holding a ticket contest, in which tickets to the film will be given away in a drawing. For Press Kit, Visit http://chasingrainbowsfilm.com/press/
