***don king and julianne yamamoto king are two on the nicest people on earth. i met don about 20 years ago from surfing the north shore. back then, he was the best water photographer in the world. then don got into cinematography and became number one at that too. he’s filmed movies such as, cast away, die another day, blue crush, charlie’s angels II, and also the drama “lost”. if you seen those movies, don probably took all the water cinematography. amazing footage. and julianne yamamoto. gosh, i remember sitting in my 7th grade math class at niu valley intermediate school when my teacher introduced a new girl that came to our school. it was julianne. she had a desk next to me and we became pretty good friends. anyway, i haven’t seen julianne for years after we finished school. that’s until the day i seen her at off-the-wall about 10 years ago. i asked her what she was doing there and she told me that she and don had gotten married. gosh, i was so happy for her… and for him too… two of the nicest people…
anyway, i saw don in the water shooting the last big swell at pipeline. we were talking and he told me about this film he and julianne made. i had absolutely no idea what the film was about but i knew that if they both made it, i was going to be awesome. i searched for the website and found it. don and julianne made a documentary about their family’s struggle to heal their son beau from autism. it’s called “BEAUTIFUL SON.” “BEAUTIFUL SON” received the BEST DOCUMENTARY AND AUDIENCE AWARD AT THE HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. it’s going to be on public tv april 8th but i couldn’t wait so i bought the DVD. this is the first time in my life i actually bought a DVD, let alone watch one. i watched it last night and all i have to say “it was awesome.” i learned so much about the illness that is now affecting one in 150 children. i was so touched by these beautiful children. this is the kind of documentary that can change your life. it already has changed mine. life is so precious and you should never take it for granted… to don and julianne, you did an awesome job in getting the message out. i wish you and your family the best. you will always be in my prayers….
this is don and julianne’s beautiful son beau…. this is such an awesome photo. i love it. and when i seen don’s underwater cinematography in the film, i got goose bumps. and was smiling ear to ear….. when you watch the film, you’ll know what i mean….
