The Pasifika Entertainment Advancement Komiti (PEAK) was established in 2022 with the mission to redefine and expand Pasifika entertainment so that Pasifika creatives can thrive, evolve, and drive innovative storytelling that honors the richness and diversity across Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. PEAK uplifts and supports Pasifika talent by fostering community through the utilization of industry networks, facilitating cultural workshops and training, and providing development opportunities for artists.
Funds from the Golden Globe Foundation went towards supporting staff and sponsoring PEAK Conversations - a celebration of Pasifika filmmaking, entertainment, and community. This event was well attended in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and consisted of a panel entirely comprised of Native Hawaiian professionals, reflecting on the state of the entertainment industry, creating opportunities, and riding the next wave of Hawai’i cinema.
