The idea behind Since I Left You stemmed from conversations between founding members, Geremy Campos and Annie Nguyen, about their own challenges of moving away from Hawai’i to add new chapters in their careers. Both have been working within the creative space for the last several years, but still find themselves looking to home for stronger connection and inspiration. Given all that’s available today to stay connected, they’ve comitted to developing a dialogue between home and the “expats” they’ve met along the way. There is so much to write home about and so many to write to.
Hawai‘i remains a significant part of both their lives. While it is a beautiful, must-stop destination for many, there are other facets about living and working on an island that are complex. A lot of these events and stories are left undiscussed. Since I Left You aims to create a dialogue around the realities of its creative community and the evolution of what it means to grow up, work, and live in Hawai’i.
