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.
