"Waterman" is a personal project for director Isaac Halasima, with Duke Kahanamoku being one of the most revered and celebrated figures of his Polynesian heritage. Another connection to Duke, his uncle, Jan Gordon Fisher, sculpted the world-famous statue of Duke on the beach of Waikiki in Hawaii. Halasima also directed "The Last Descent" (2016), which won two Utah Film Awards and played in theaters across the western United States. He made his first big national move as a director with his music videos “Demons” and “Gold” for the band Imagine Dragons. “Demons” received an MTV/VMA nomination for Rock Video of the Year.
