HPU filmmaker to play in Windtalker
Special to Kalamalama by Daniel Halasz

Communication majors and film-makers, Luca Diana and Tobias Brosjoe went to the July audition for Windtalkers. They were called back for a second audition in a valley close to Ko‘olau Ranch where they and others acted out a war scene in front of a camera and production staff.

"When I arrived they had already built a huge battle field," Brosjoe said. "We all dressed in military clothing and ran back and forth screaming and throwing ourselves on the ground while the casting director and a camera man were filming us from a jeep."

A few days after the second audition, Brosjoe and Diana received phone calls from the casting office telling them they had been picked to join a core group of 50. The core group will be filmed almost every day of the production.

At the moment, as the high-priced flick is being filmed, Brosjoe and Diana are on the set almost everyday getting a taste of Hollywood.

They start around 5:45 in the morning and get off around 7 in the evening. When they get to the film location, they go almost directly to wardrobe, transforming themselves from ordinary HPU students to marines ready to give their lives for their country.

Although their days mostly consists of waiting for another scene, Brosjoe said he loves the experince. After all he is mingling with some of Hollywoods greatest stars.
