As filmmakers with decades of combined experience, we’ve interviewed hundreds of people from various walks of life with some of the most inspiring, life-changing, fascinating stories. But, like any filmmaker knows - what actually makes it into the final film is just the tip of the iceberg.
Due to run time or brand restrictions, most of the interview gets left on the cutting room floor.
From Hawai'i's top leaders to creators, entrepreneurs to change-makers, we’re on a hunt to share their inspiring and thought-provoking stories, UNCUT and in their own words. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/uncuthawaii/support

Luke Shepardson’s world has been turned upside-down after winning “The Eddie” last month. The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational – dubbed the “Super Bowl of surfing” – is a big wave surfing tournament held at Waimea Bay on the North shore - named after big wave surfer and Waimea Bay lifeguard, Eddie Aikau. Luke took time off from his lifeguarding post at Waimea Bay to compete in the event and finished with a near-perfect score of 89.1 points, ahead of defending champion John John Florence in second. Luke stopped by to talk about his epic win and why he won’t quit his day job anytime soon.

Jasper Wong does it all. He’s an artist, illustrator, art director and curator. His work has been displayed in exhibitions all over the world with an impressive roster of clients including Hulu, NBA, Uniqlo, Versace, Microsoft, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Toyota, Marvel and more. Many people know him as the creator and lead director of World Wide Walls (formerly POW! WOW!), which is a non-profit organization of contemporary artists committed to community enrichment through the creation of art outreach programs and engaging the community in the creation and appreciation of public art.
In this episode, Jasper takes us through his art journey -- going to school in the Bay and then moving to Hong Kong only to be turned down because he wasn't the right type of "Chinese" artist. Carving his own path, how the industry is being threatened and what drives him to keep creating. We loved getting a peek into his creative brain and learning from the master himself.
