What the World Needs Now
We believe that children are the future who from an early age, and throughout their lives, need to explore their creativity and share it with the world.
That’s why, now more than ever, amidst the haste and complexity of modern life lived in an increasingly digital landscape, we encourage parents, teachers and mentors everywhere to demand young people have time to fall in love with art, music and, of course, cinema.
Life well-lived also needs to understand the joy of the natural world. It fertilizes the embracing of higher love, compassion and empathy for all humankind and all creatures of the Earth, Sea
and Sky.
Towards that end, the Maui Film Festival supports the MACC's Education Program and is thrilled to share the insightful and beautiful sentiments expressed by artist Fred Babb with you. Fred got it right. Enjoy! (www.fredbabb.com)
