ECOH HISTORY
Recently, E.C.O.H. transformed into the Keep It Aloha E.C.O.H. due to a unification with the production company titled “Keep It Aloha,” founded by Kamaka Dias, host and founder of the Keep It Aloha show and podcast. This unification between the two indigenous Hawaiian media giants has resulted in the creation of the largest visual contemporary new generation Native Hawaiian entertainment archive in the world, called The Archive of A.L.O.H.A. (Archival Library Of Hawaiian Advancement). The Archive contains over 500 Native Hawaiian-infused feature films, documentaries, podcasts, life story testimonials, profiles, TV shows, commercials, and more.
This collaboration has created an educational and informational treasure trove of contemporary Native Hawaiian history and research, standing as the authority in contemporary Hawaiian archival content. It also represents a new generation of indigenous archivists with the intention of creating a global archive for all indigenous nations under one roof, as a global archival digital sovereign united nation.
Together the Keep It Aloha Podcast & ECOH’s mission is to ARCHIVE, document and celebrate the life stories of the Hawaiian people, creating a unique archival repository that serves as a catalyst for cultural reawakening and economic growth.

These productions will also serve as educational opportunities for students from K through college, incorporating the next generation to learn how to tell their own stories, use the equipment, research their history pertaining to the story and understand how to operate the machine of narrative and feature film making not allow it to operate you. This knowledge will enable them to archive their stories and experiences.
HIRING HAWAIIAN & LOCAL
We are committed to teaching local Native Hawaiians the art of acting, nurturing their confidence, and encouraging authenticity. We believe that nothing beats hiring the real people whom the story is about or relates to. We've demonstrated this commitment in our movie Pe’ahi, which featured an entire community and delivered better acting performances than many contemporary movies. All it took was time, patience, and dedicated effort towards the right causes in acting and filmmaking.

Using top-tier, award-winning production quality, ECOH aims to ensure broad appeal and cultural resonance in all our projects.

This will create positive change by showcasing our people in the most intelligent and respectful manners, influencing global perceptions. As the world begins to see and believe in the true essence of our culture, it will encourage the public of Hawaii to embody the aloha spirit depicted in our films. This content has the power to shift and influence human behavior, fostering a renewed sense of pride and authenticity within the Hawaiian community.
MARKETING CULTURE
Through marketing Hawaiian culture weaved into the commercial marketing and branding of local businesses across a nation such as Hawaii, we aim to raise the worth and value of our culture due to its extremely lucrative nature but underutilized currently by modern society. Elevating the Hawaiian culture and platforming indigenous people within it on the highest levels of Hollywood production will effectively raise the value of the culture to be appealing for tourism and economic demand, creating a new movement in style where indigenous culture is trending as the coolest thing.
