Commercial Filming and Photography on Kamehameha Schools Land

Guidelines for Natural and Cultural Resource Protection

Kamehameha Schools landholdings include approximately 365,000 acres of land in 59 ahupua‘a on five islands in the State of Hawai‘i.
These landholdings are part of a land legacy passed down to Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi, traceable to the lineages of Kohala and Kona
chiefs and foreign advisors that aided Kamehameha I in his unification of the Hawaiian Islands.

Kamehameha Schools (KS), by mission and strategic mandate, currently manages these lands for the balance of their diverse values,
with vested interests in the wellbeing of community, health of native ecosystems, proper stewardship of important cultural sites,
economic vitality of local businesses and farms, opportunities for place-based education, and the generation of revenue to support our
educational mission. Certain commercial filming and photography projects may be appropriate and compatible uses of KS
landholdings when prudent measures are taken to avoid and/or mitigate any impact to the natural and cultural resources present.

Our knowledge of these resources can vary from area to area, and within each area. The constantly evolving nature of these resources
and our understanding of them does not allow for them to be generalized into broad categories of use and non-use for commercial
filming purposes. All film requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the integrity of each of the KS values is being
evaluated and upheld.

In preparing your application to film or photograph on KS land, please consider the following reasons for evaluation.

Protecting Natural and Cultural Values

Filming on KS’ incredible scenic landscapes can be accomplished successfully and responsibly with appropriate attention to sensitive
natural and cultural environments.

KS landholdings include outstanding examples of the intact native ecosystems and cultural landscapes that are central to the history of
the Hawaiian people and their vibrant culture and well-being. These environments can be sensitive to the impacts of even prudent use
and in certain cases may contain sites, structures, or other effects for which access and permission to view is restricted. At some sites,
image capture and/or video or audio recording is never or rarely permissible. In other areas, any entry may unnecessarily expose
sensitive ecosystems to the seeds, pests, and chemical, mechanical and other impacts borne on human and vehicular traffic and by
performing animals. For these reasons, KS requires all commercial filming and photography projects on KS land to disclose specific
information at the time of application and if permitted, comply with certain basic mitigation requirements during and after filming.
Please review the standard permit terms and note that projects at especially sensitive locations may require additional mitigation,
examples of which are given.

Portraying Kamehameha Schools’ Christian and Hawaiian Values

KS, as a values-based educational institution, gives careful consideration to the manner in which films shot on KS land portray the
organization, Hawaiian beneficiaries, their history and ancestors.
