Bryson Chun

Bryson Chun? Oh yeah, you’ve definitely seen his name pop up if you’ve been anywhere near the latest wave of Hawaiian storytelling. The guy’s got his fingerprints on some seriously buzzworthy stuff. Moana 2 (2024) is probably getting the loudest cheers right now—Disney fans can’t shut up about it. Bryson’s bringing that fresh, real-deal island energy straight to the big screen, and honestly, it’s way overdue. He’s not just about big-budget animation, though. Go back a little, you’ll catch him in the credits for Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. (2021), that playful dramedy reboot set in Hawaii. People loved that smart, funny, not-so-typical teen doc, and Bryson helped give it the kind of local flavor you just can’t fake. But wait, there’s more—Ka Piko (2017) is where his roots show. That one’s a quieter, indie vibe, but if you want to see the heart of Native Hawaiian storytelling, it’s right there. Bryson’s got this thing where he can jump between genres and budgets, but he always keeps things grounded in real culture, real people. He’s not just representing on screen; he’s making sure the stories behind the camera matter, too. It’s honestly refreshing to see someone actually walk the walk when it comes to diversity and authentic representation in Hollywood. So, yeah, if you’re tracking who’s shaking up the industry with some much-needed Hawaiian perspective, Bryson Chun’s a name you’ll want to remember.
