marQ’s series Talk Story: Koa Paddle & Model Canoe Carver

“Micro-Doc” fimmaker marQ would challenge himself by shooting his “Talk Story” series. He would keep his gear in his car and when driving around he would spot anything that looked interesting and record it. His rules were only 1 hour shooting time and 3 hours edit time. This honed his run and gun style. See marQ’s award-winning Skunk Ape movie: Calisto Palos, or “Junior“ as he is called, has been handcrafting woods since an early age when he learned from his grandfather. He uses Koa wood, Milo, Mango, Pheasant Wood, Purple Heart, Silver Oak, Kamani, Wili Wili, and Hau wood to create various useful items and art objects which are of heirloom quality. With every creation, Calisto is keeping alive the true Hawai'ian culture of his ancestors and his children.
