Take a look at my interview about Absence of Faith by Carl Lee

Carl Lee - That would leave the playing field wide-open. How did you nail down a direction for the plot?

"The characters. I created sets of characters - a doctor and his wife and just the opposite, a young girl and her new boyfriend who are laid back, go with the flow types.

She sings the chants with a powerful voice and keeps the drumbeat solid for young dancers who will carry on the sacred dance of the Hawaiians designed to pull mana, or spiritual power, from the heavens.

In her second formal Ho’iki held in Torrance, California in April 2009, she asks us to listen… Continue
