My Partner, directed by Kanaka Maoli filmmaker Keliʻi Grace and based on an original story by Lance D. Collins, explores the relationship between Edmar, a high-achieving Filipino student, and Pili, a Native Hawaiian student-athlete. As they navigate teenage love and self-growth in Hawaiʻi, their journey reflects the complexities of Hawaiʻi’s evolving cultural landscape. This marks the first time the Boy Love genre has been portrayed through a modern Hawaiian story, offering a unique take on love and identity in Hawaiʻi cinema.
