In Hawai’i, there is the word na’au. It means to feel first with your gut. It is our place of intuitive knowing. This means work that is deeply felt, not just seen. Working from this place means making memorable content that sparks an emotional response. An intimate connection.

 

It is about crafting a lush world in a moment. Shaping light, visuals and sound to evoke authentic stories. 

Cris Romento is a Kānaka Maoli Director telling healing, joyful stories through a female gaze. Her work celebrates women, Native culture, and our planet. She draws on her matriarchal lineage from Mexico, Philippines and Hawai’i to create intuitive visuals and intimate connections.
