As a kick off to the 2010 Fall season, this exciting mixer will be the first time for guests to view the unveiling of this season's iconic Key Visual Image, several of the festival's never before seen up-and-coming films including a chance to see 10 film trailers, and mingle with HIFF staff, the board of directors and Ohana members. The event is free and open to the public and is being held on Thursday, August 19th at Nextdoor ... in Downtown Honolulu at 43 N. Hotel Street, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Guests can also enjoy free pizza from J.J. Dolans, raffle tickets, giveaways, and the chance to show HIFF support by purchasing a HIFF 30 Button.

New members are always welcome and for those who join as HIFF Ohana Members at the evening's event will receive a discount on membership fees. Plus, anyone who joins or renews their HIFF membership by the end of 2010, will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a trip to the Seattle International Film Festival in June 2011. The trip includes two round trip tickets, hotel accommodations and platinum passes to the Seattle festival.

Update 8/9: The event is now starting at 5pm instead of 6pm.
