As the film emerges festival season with awards from the New Hampshire Film Festival, the Hawaiian International Film Festival, and more, its creators are hoping Aikāne can reach a global audience with its message of positivity and queer love.

Dean Hamer: Joe and I had been working on [it] for more than 20 years, even though we didn't know it. We've spent all our time together since we got married working on making documentaries and helping to tell stories of queer people and mostly of the injustices and the wrongs and the challenges that we face and the perseverance that's required to survive.

We felt it was time to tell a different type of story. Instead of talking about all of the struggle and the conflict of queerness, [we wanted to] talk a little bit about the benefits. During all of our work together, what has always held us together, despite all the conflict that we've witnessed and been involved in, is our love for one another and our trust of one another and our relationship.

In traditional, pre-Western contact times, those relationships were quite common. Chiefly folk were especially noted to have intimate friends of the same sex within their retinue, within their midst, because they needed their close confidantes. They needed people who they could trust with their life, and they also needed support if they were not able to tend to an important matter. If their aikāne went on their behalf, it was sanctioned and accepted. That changed with Christianity. Christianity made relationships like that go the other way and be negative. So I come from a culture that only knows one pronoun, he, she, and it is only one word, and that is ʻo ia. 'O ia is an indicator of how my people feel about sex and gender.

Daniel Sousa: I was really amazed that we could tackle an original fictional story that was epic and had monsters and mythology and a love story, [and somehow] juggle all these pieces together. These characters did not speak and had to communicate through pantomime, almost like shadow puppet theater, which I thought was fascinating, too. We arrived at something that we were all happy with.

DH: We told [Hinaleimoana] that we didn't really see any known Kānaka story that exactly fit this sort of arc that we were looking for. She was very clear that we should be careful not to pretend it was a Hawaiian story or even any other Polynesian story, because there were no Samoan stories or Tongan stories or Māori stories that we knew of that fit either. So we were careful to do that, and we got rid of anything in the dress or the tattoos and the landscapes even, that would make it specifically Hawaiian. Then we showed pretty much the finished film, or very close to the finished film, to Hina.

I often find that queer love stories in general are portrayed pretty tragically. But what I love about the ending of Aikāne is the fact that we have our protagonists being successful against this evil, opposing force, and they get to enjoy their love afterwards. I'd love to know about the significance of that.

DH: Although there are plenty of gay love stories, they're always about the fight of the two people against homophobia, against outside forces that are against them. And about that struggle. We know that's a lot of life, but since we had the freedom of fiction, we just wanted to imagine what would happen in a world where there was none of that. And where them being two men doesn't really make any difference. We made this movie because we think that telling a queer love story with a happy ending is a form of resistance.

So, Indigenous moviemakers have been working for decades in the independent film world to tell their stories. But over the past few years, the number of movies and television shows with a strong Indigenous presence both in front of and behind the camera has been rapidly growing. And Native creatives based in or hailing from Oklahoma are playing key roles in many of the hot new titles.

One of the most critically acclaimed shows out now follows four Native teenagers in rural Oklahoma, while the most popular title ever on one major streaming service is a long-running film franchise's latest installment, which features an Indigenous heroine.

Filmed primarily in Oklahoma, the FX Networks hit debuted in 2021 to almost universal acclaim and premiered its sophomore season last year to more high praise. It has blazed trails as the first mainstream TV show on which every writer, director and series regular performer is Indigenous.

Co-created and executive produced by Oscar-winning New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi ("Thor: Love and Thunder"), who is of Maori ancestry, and Tulsa-based moviemaker Sterlin Harjo ("Barking Water"), who is Seminole and Muscogee, the bawdy and uproarious coming-of-age comedy focuses on four present-day Native teenagers who set out to escape their rural Oklahoma home for sunny California.
