Isaiah Kainoa is an actor, filmmaker, and influencer previously known for being on sets of quality series such as “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P.I.” While initially recognized for acting, Isaiah has skillfully expanded his work in the film industry while also making amazing content on social platforms. Today, he’s not only an actor but also an influencer and a very skilled videographer, deeply committed to telling Polynesian stories through film.
In a recent interview, Isaiah shared insights into his transformative journey, highlighting his shift from larger productions to the independent film scene. “From my last interview, I really transformed and started to work more in the independent film industry rather than bigger productions,” he explained. “I have also crossed over to be more behind the camera than in front. Mainly being a videographer these past years—and it has really been a blast to do. I still act if needed too, but my main focus these past years has been to film and create art through film.”
Latest Film Project: The Polyverse
Isaiah’s current work involves his collaboration with “The Polyverse,” an independent film production company dedicated to films and series based on stories of Polynesian culture.
Isaiah Confirms Collaborating with Mayjah League Hawaii Brand
Isaiah’s journey began with a spark ignited by the clothing brand Mayjah League Hawaii. He now has the opportunity to work for them as a videographer.
“The clothing brand MayjahLeagueHawaii… They were one of the biggest inspirations for me when I started 8-9 years ago in my media journey. If it wasn’t for them using my amateur pictures when I was in high school and sparking my interest in media, I really think I wouldn’t be in media today. It’s a real full circle moment, as they started my spark in media, and now I get to work and grow with Mayjah League.”
