Tracy Bennett’s Summary

In October 2013, I was appointed by Mayor Alan Arakawa to be the new Maui County Film Commissioner. After a 17 year career as a photographer in the movie business, I am changing career paths, and striving to utilize the contacts and relationships I have made with actors, directors, producers and studio executives to promote Maui as not only a filming destination, but a major production hub west of California.
