Songs of Love from Hawai‘i is a musical drama weaving three moving stories from Hawai‘i’s Korean diaspora. The film opens with Their Footprints, exploring 121 years of Korean immigration through rare archival footage. It then portrays the life of Lim Ok Soon, a picture bride, with a poignant performance by Grammy-winning violist Richard Youngjae O'Neil. The film concludes with a tribute to the souls of Molokaʻi's Kalaupapa, featuring stirring renditions of “Aloha Oe” by virtuoso violinists Ignace "Iggy" Jang and Chee-Yun, and slack-key guitarist Keola Beamer. Songs of Love from Hawai‘i premiered at the 2023 Hawaii International Film Festival and was featured at the 20th Jecheon International Music and Film Festival.
