While searching for lychee season news, I found this amusing quote from the Honolulu Advertiser: “Lychee is valuable. No other fruit grown in Hawai’i makes the police blotter as much as lychee.” I’m not surprised. I’d be tempted to steal it off a tree if I spotted some. The article is actually about a short film called Lychee Thieves. Written and directed by Kathleen Man, the film was inspired by a newspaper article about a lychee farm robbery. Casting is underway and pre-production has begun, including capturing the peak of lychee season on film.
