Shiro's Head
- Synopsis
A modern part of a forgotten
history, "Shiro's Head" takes
us to the Pacific island of Guam,
USA where outcast Vince Flores (Don Muna) struggles to come to terms
with his family's history of secrets
and a dark past of his own. Shunned
from his family for the death of his
father, his attempt to reconcile
causes his family's past to catch up
to him for the last time. Based on a
universal theme of family, faith and
forgiveness, "Shiro's Head"
features a talented cast of unknowns
including a unique setting with a
character all its own.
Shiro's Head is the feature
film debut produced, written and
directed by brothers Don and Kel
Muna. Their screenplay is adapted
from their original short story
entitled "The Legend of Shiro".
Shot entirely on location in Guam,
USA, the island naturally sets the
framework for circumstances of life
in a small town. "Shiro's Head"
is a do-it-yourself, independent
production with associate producers
Jennifer Davis, Naomi Castro and
Michael Muna.
The soundscape of the island comes
to life with original score by the
Muna Bros. interwoven with original music
by Brandon Mayer, Rebel Lion, D.U.B.,
Brandi Jae, By Blood and more.

About
the Muna Bros.
-
Filmmakers Kel and Don Muna take
their project home to Guam.
Guam boys, The Muña Bros., have had
an early jump in their professional
careers working for local multimedia
establishments on Guam for a number
of years. Their list of local
experience include Production
Director at KUAM Pacific
Telestations, Broadcast Director at
Glimpses Advertising, as well as an
on-air personality for Sorensen
Media Group.
The Muña Bros. decided to set sail
for the mainland to further their
education and experience, and that
they did. Their list of
accomplishments and experience
include Honors & Valedictorian of
Full Sail school of film in 2002,
which quickly led to a position at
the San Francisco Bay Area's KTVU
news channel. From there, the two
brothers decided it was time to
venture on their own.
Shortly after, they've yet again
packed their bags and headed south
to the land of plenty, Hollywood,
California. It was then that they
built their small production company
and gained their independence. Since
then they've had countless hours of
experience in their fields of forté
as songwriters,
musicians, screen
writers, camera operators, video
editors, digital photographers,
sound engineers and experience in
the inevitable - advertising and
marketing.
They've also been honored by being
hand selected to film an East Coast
based Breast Cancer Awareness
documentary in conjunction with
Creative House Productions in 2005.
In 2006 The Muña Bros. have done an
enormous amount of writing and have
self-published their own filmmaking
book for beginners entitled "Why Go
To Film School?" along with their
first full length feature art-drama
screenplay entitled "Shiro's
Head".
Always a creative force, the two
brothers just wanted to complete the
ultimate in endeavors by utilizing
their production skills to come back
home and produce a fresh,
independent movie for their island
and the DIY community to enjoy. With
the blessings and support of friends
and family in Guam, the Muña Bros
intend to take this independent,
low-budget flick to the masses. |
