A space for every-day innovation
Where do you go to be Creative?
You solve problems every day. Many of them are easy, accessible solutions. but big, systemic, or chronic problems require something more. How do you access the additional perspective required to see situations differently? What place can you go to that provides the environment and all the resources necessary to support you in pursuit of something innovative? R&D is a small storefront in Kaka‘ako, Honolulu that was designed specifically for this purpose.

Steve Barilotti, with Daniel Ito
In over a decade as Surfer magazine’s editor-at-large, photojournalist Steve Barilotti has made it his business to document the sport, art, and lore of surfing. In addition to critical journalism about surf culture (the good and the bad), he has written books on renowned surf photographers such Art Brewer and the hugely popular LeRoy Grannis—Birth Of A Culture (Taschen, 2007). In the last five years “Barlo” has veered into screenwriting and producing surf-related documentaries, including the Emmy-award-winning Kokua and Wave of Compassion.
Steve will be talking with Daniel Ito (Constrast Magazine and StarAdvertiser surf reporter) about his work with Surf photographer LeRoy Grannis, current projects, and Minds in the Water, a documentary he wrote and produced, which is screening at HIFF on Saturday October 22 at 6pm.
