In preparation for this trip, the Muna brothers are holding a fundraiser on April 21 at Ralphy’s Lounge, with assistance from their friends, families and fans.
The Muna brothers are heading to California for the 25th Annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival where Shiro’s Head has been selected as a finalist for the “Grand Jury Price†for “Best Narrative Feature.â€
Dee Cruz, one of the coordinators, said the fundraiser is targeting to raise $1,200.
She has contacted the Department of Chamorro Affairs and the Guam Economic Development Authority for assistance and is looking at other sponsors to bring that amount by another grand.
Shiro’s Head has received recognition at the Louis Vuitton Film Festival in Hawaii, the Philadelphia film festival last year.
This year, the Muna brothers received the Silver Ace Award at the Las Vegas film festival.
The film festival, which runs from April 30 to May 7, will also the documentary on Camp Roxas, which depicts the migration of Filipino workers to Guam in the 1950s.
The fundraiser, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., promises an evening of entertainment including a variety of bands who have joined together to help out the Munas.
Also happening that night is a poetry slam and personal art pieces that will be on display. Â
There will also be raffle prize drawings through out the evening.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. Proceeds will go to their trip to Los Angeles and back home to Guam safely. Â
