Over the past two years, the WRFF Elmo Williams Award has recognized outstanding filmmakers Robert Stronger (Parking Spot, Rise of the Fallen Angel) and Stephanie Williams (My Rock Star). Now, it’s time to reflect on the remarkable life of the man behind the name.📽️ Experience Elmo’s Story: We'll be presenting a slideshow that was originally shown at Elmo’s memorial service, offering a heartfelt look at his incredible journey—from his humble beginnings to his rise in Hollywood as an Oscar-winning editor, director, producer, and studio executive. Discover the iconic films he helped shape and the industry legends he worked alongside.
💬 Engage in a Q&A: Following the presentation, Dr. Marilyn Hart, longtime Brookings resident and Elmo Williams Day lead, and Hawaii State Archivist Adam Jansen will host a discussion about Elmo’s impact on both the film world and our local community.
