ACTING IN THE RAINBOW STATE
IT’S been my distinct pleasure to be Daniel S. Janik, actor, with Setsuko Tsuchiya, actress, in “The Rainbow State” of Hawaii. Our acting opportunities have been and remain highly varied. Part of that, I believe, is a consequence of living in Hawaii with its multi-culturality. Being European by descent and my partner Japanese, Hawaii offers us a multitude of cultural experiences both in terms of our professions and our daily life.
For example, we’ve played in Hawaiiwood’s K. Simmons Production of STATIC (2021) — https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15420946/ -- https://ksmediagroupinc.com/the-stati..., a film portraying the struggle of a veteran challenged by dementia, notably Alzheimer’s disease, and his unique solution that involved an old radio that to others only plays static. In it I depicted Will Gardner, the curmongenous veteran, and Setsuko played Edna, an enthusiastic, ever-positive Asian-American resident of the same “rest home” as Will. It was a delightful experience under Producer/Director Kenny Simmons and cinematographer/editor Robert MacLean, co-sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association.
More recently, we’ve played in the Kurt Ken Kaminaka Production of THE PERFECT ILLUSION (anticipated 2023 release) — https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18690318/ –, a film about a suicidal man who finds a new reason to live after he stumbles upon a curio shop that transports him into the future. Soon he finds himself risking his life trying to save the woman of his dreams, but struggles when he realizes that reality may not be as it appears. In this one, I play the ethically-wavering Dr. Stevenson, along with Setsuko in a a gala party scene, with Setsuko playing an inveterate Charleston-era-style party-goer. It was, again, a wonderful experience working with a host of outstanding cast under Direction of Kurt Ken Kaminaka and Lymari Graciano.
Being performance and competitive ballroom/Latin American dancers, Setsuko and I have had the pleasure of appearing on screen as background dancers in the 1998 FANTASY ISLAND – Episode 4 – “Dying to Dance” — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xYAE... — and are looking forward to appearing in the upcoming K. Simmons Production of FINDING KATE — https://ksmediagroupinc.com/finding-kate — both as supporting actors and featured dancers. FINDING KATE is based on the award-winning book of the same name by renown thriller author A. G. Hayes.
