A locally made Hawaii film is getting a run of special screenings with cast and crew on hand, a boost for the islands' small film industry.

• The film "Molokai Down" starts screening at Consolidated Theatres, including Ward and other Oahu locations, with a cast and crew Q&A.
• It kicks off the chain's new weekly series built to showcase local filmmakers.
• The story follows a son who steps up as a father figure, makes bad choices, ends up locked up, and tries to rebuild ties with his family.
• The people behind it hope younger viewers take away that family matters more than money.
• For much of the local cast and crew, it was their first time on a production this size.

Outlook: If the screenings draw crowds, the theater series could become a regular outlet for Hawaii-made films.
