At the Maui Film Festival actress and fashion icon Zooey Deschanel confessed to her island dress dilemma and winning her first award. With fiance Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie close by, Zooey accepted the honor with style, grace and true Hawaiian spirit.

"I didn't really know how to dress for this because I don't spend a lot of time at the beach. I was looking for things that looked beach-y. And this looked beach-y to me," she said donning a white Shoshanna frock and a plumeria lei.
(Not her usual awards ceremony accessory.)

Owen Wilson - moving to solar powered community in Hawaii

Owen Wilson is joining his buddy Woody Harrelson in Hawaii. And they're not just going to sip Mai Tai and surf. Oh no! They're going to conserve while they sip Mai Tais and surf!

After visiting Woody at his completely solar powered, sustainable community featuring organic farming on Maui, Owen has decided to score his own place in the development.

Following his, shall we say rocky year, Owen is definitely in need of some serenity and we hope he finds it. Really, how bad can it be? Sand, surf, coconut-scented air? Plus the smug satisfaction that only 100% green living can give you. Sounds like paradise to us!

We're looking forward to seeing the green incarnation of Owen's style. Will he go full-hemp like Woody? Or take a more activist approach like Leonardo?

Maui Film Festival Day 1

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

I flew into Wailea Maui on Tuesday afternoon to gorgeous 81 degree and sunny for the Maui Film Festival. Founded by Barry Rivers, the festival is five day outdoor celebration of independent film. They have huge screens set up along the beaches and golf courses where the films are screened. It's not like Venice or Cannes where snobby film junkies don tuxedos and strut along red carpets. Here Tommy Bahama subs for Dior and the red carpet is the fine Hawaiian sand. Celebrities attending will include Virginia Madsen, Pierce Brosnan, Dennis Quaid and Felicity Huffman on top of local celebrities like Laird Hamilton.

I went to the opening festivities at the Fairmont Kea Lani where movie goers washed down their Kobe beef with Heinekens and cranberry cosmopolitans.

Then I walked up the street to the Future Home of Baccarat Wailea Resort & Residences golf course, a spectacular 3-course club, where the driving range was converted to a theater under the sky to see the enormous movie theatre they have constructed.

Barry Rivers, the festival's founder and director, arranged for the energy all the projectors will use to be off-set with solar power. Another example of the film industry's "Going Green."

I'll be here a few more days, so come back for more posts.

At the risk of sounding a little bit nutso, we definitely think there is an art to packing the ultimate beach bag. If you can pack it up with essentials and still keep it light, then you've got the knack.
