COMING UP TO THIS WEEK ON H WE INTERVIEW CASSANDRA HESSELTINE.

AND THE ICONIC "STAR WARS" FRANCHISE.

ALSO A MAJOR MILESTONE HAS BEEN A RIBBON FOR THE CROWLEY THE COMPANY THAT WILL ON ON-SHORE EFFORTS MOVING FORWARD.

COMING UP NOW ON HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

FROM THE TOP OF THE HUMBOLDT HILL THIS IS A HEADLINE HUMBOLDT I'M JEDI FESTIVAL THANKS FOR JOINING US THAT SOMETHING THAT THE LUSH GREEN AND FOREST OF THE ENDOC.

I WOULD MANY OF THOSE SIGNS ON ENDOR WERE'S WALKS WERE PHILLED IN OURM REGION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

AND THEY DO A WHOLE LOT BY THEIR THEMSELVES HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR AREA CAN BE.

"STAR WARS" FOR KIDS IN MY GENERATION WAS A RITE OF PASSAGE.

IT WHO AND WHAT WE ARE AND HOW WE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT.

THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY REACHED INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS THAN ANY PREVIOUS FILM WE CAN NAME.

AS THE UNIVERSE EXPLODES TO INCLUDE NUMEROUS MOVIES AND A WIDE ARRAY OF OTHER PRODUCTIONS.

IT'S CERTAINLY SMART TO THAT WHERE THE ORIGINAL MOVIE MACKIC BEGAN.

THIS NEW FOREST MOON FESTIVAL WILL DO MORE.

BUT FIRST WE'RE GOING TO GO TO RYAN HUTSON WHO TURNED IN A REPORT UPON THE DEATH OF JOSIAH LAWSON.

SIX YEARS AGO.

WE'RE WATCHING PEOPLE COMING FROM THE 5K.

THIS IS THE SIX-YEAR MEMORIAL ANNIVERSARY.

IT'S ENCOURAGING TO KEEP GOING.

WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.

WHEN WE FIGHT YOU WIN.

AND YOU NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR LOVED ONES.

YOU FIGHT WHEN JUSTICE IS SERVED AND I WILL NEVER GIVE UP FOR DAVID JOE A YALA SON.

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

HE WAS VICIOUSLY TAKEN FROM US WAY TOO SOON.

AND HIS KILLER IS STILL WALKING FREE.

>> HUMBOLDT'S STACY EADS COULD DECIDE TO PROSECUTE WITH THE EVIDENCE AVAILABLE.

>> WHEN I MET WITH MS. EADS WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER AND I ACTUALLY ARRANGED DASH TACH É I REACHED OUT TO HER.

AND SHE SAID YES.

SO I WAS GRATEFUL TO HER.

SHE DID SAY SHE IS REVIEWING THE CASE.

SHE SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER IN THREE MONTHS OR SO.

WITHIN THE THREE MONTHS PERIOD.

I HOPE IT'S SOONER THAN THREE MONTHS.

I KNOW WE HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO BRING IT BACK TO TRIAL.

AND GET A HOLDING ORDER, AND HOLD KYLE CHRISTOPHER SEW LUND.

WE HAVE HIS BLOODY SATURATED CLOTHES.

HIS AND MY SON'S.

WE HAVE MY SON'S D.N.A.

WE HAVE UNDERNEATH MY SON'S FINGERNAIL.

SO WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO HOLD HIM OVER, AND FOR HIM TO ANSWER FOR THE MURDER OF MY SON.

YES.

SO WE'RE PRAYING SHE SEES WHAT WE SEE BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE IS THERE.

WE JUST NEED TO PROSECUTE HIM.

HE NEEDS TO CHARGE HIM AND PROSECUTOR HIM.

WE HAVE WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH TO.

WHEN HE SUED THE CITY OF THE ARCATA AND THEY ASKED HIM WHERE DID ALL THAT BLOOD CAME FROM.

HE SAID THAT THE BLOOD CAME FROM HIM WIPING HIS FACE.

HIS CLOTHES WERE SATURATED WITH BLOOD.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT ALL THAT THE BLOOD CAN CONGEST HIS BEATEN FACE AFTER HE STABBED MY SON.

THERE'S BLOOD ON THE BACK OF HIS PANTS.

THERE'S BLOOD ON THE FRONT OF HIS SWEATS.

THE BLOOD SOAKED THROUGH FROM HIS BLACK SWEATSHIRT TO A WHITE T-SHIRT THAT AMOUNT CAME FROM PROSECUTE SOMEONE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A BUTCHER, A BUTCHER SITUATION WHERE MY SO KYLE ZOHNEL.

>> WAS THE ONLY SEEN REPORTED FIGHTING WITH JOSIAH.

THE PLAZA ENCAMPMENT AND OTHER THEFT, BROKEN WINDOWS.

WE FUNDED AN OUTREACH SERGEANT POSITION TO HELP LUKE SCAL UN WHO IS NOW BACK ON PAROLE BECAUSE OF THE LOW STAFFING.

>> DESCRIBE FOR ME WHAT THE FOREST MOON FESTIVAL FOR PEOPLE WHO'RE ABLE TO MAKE IT.

>> THE FESTIVAL WHICH STARTED OFF WITH THE EUREKA AND THE ZEUS FOUNDATION.

WHAT IS IT.

WHAT'S IT'S BOEING TO BE LIKE.

THEN WE ENDED UP DOING A BABY VERSION.

THIS YEAR BEING THE 45th ANNIVERSARY.

WE REALIZED WE DIDN'T WANT TO RENT A FAIRGROUNDS AND HAVE A BOOTHS.

WE BOTH FILMED IN HUMBOLDT AND DEL MAR COUNTIES.

WE WOULD MAKE IT MORE OF A HOLIDAY.

FOURTH OF JULY WHERE EVERYBODY WEARS T-SHIRTS AND THERE'S ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CELEBRATING.

WE WANT THE SAME THING.

IT'S IT'S LIKE WE'VE CREATED A HOLIDAY FOR THE REGION.

WE WANT EVERYBODY DECORATING.

WE WANTED BUSINESSES RESTAURANTS, HOTELS ALL OF THE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWNS, EVERYBODY DECORATING.

AND THEN WE WANT OTHER ACTIVITIES ON TOP OF THAT.

THERE'S GOING TO BE ACTIVITIES AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT CRESCENT CITY.

JEDI TRAINING.

THE ZOO IS GOING TO BE DOING AN AMAZING.

>> I KNOW THAT THE SKYWALK IS GOING TO FIT INTO THIS.

>> IT'S ALMOST AS YOU'RE IN A EWOK VILLAGE.

>> WE'RE CREATING WHILE WE'RE EXECUTING AT THE SAME TIME.

I ONLY GOT PERMISSION TO DO THIS IN JANUARY FROM LUCASFILM.

>> DEALING WITH THE HUGE BEAST THAT IS LUCASFILM.

WERE THEY EASY TO WORK WITH?

>> THEY'RE FABULOUS.

THEY'RE VERY BUSY.

AT ONE TIME I DID OFFER MY ADULT CHILD DO YOU WANT ME TO PROVIDE SOME FOOD.

NO NO WE HAVE ENOUGH KIDS.

>> THEY SAID THIS IS GREAT.

HAVE AT IT.

MAKE SURE YOU DO THE RULES THAT DOESN'T STEP ON THEIR IP.

WE HAVE TO THINK WOULD WE WANT TO TAKE OUR IDEAS AND MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT.

>> IT'S LIKE YOU'VE TO CAPTURE TO MAKE IT BELONG BUT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.

>> THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RULES.

ALL OF THAT IS ON OUR FOREST MOON FESTIVAL.org.

IT EXPLAINS IT ALTHERRLY.

YES WE'RE INVITING EVERYBODY FROM DECORATING THEIR BUSINESS TO CREATING AN EVENT, TO HAVING A POP-UP DEPENDING ON ALL OF THE DIFFERENT VERSUS WHAT YOU QUALIFY FOR.

IT EXPLAINS HOW YOU CAN DO THAT SAFELY.

>> ON THE WEBSITE.

>> THE DATES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT.

>> FIRST WEEKEND OF JUNE.

JUNE 2ND AND THIRD.

WE WANTED TO ARTS ALIVE WHICH FALLS ON THE FIRST WEEK IN EUREKA.

WE WANTED FARMER'S MARKET IN OUR KEITA.

>> THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

>> WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM.

WE HAVE TIFFANY MILLER DESIGNS IS ALSO HELP PRODUCE THIS.

WHICH HER AND HER TEAM ARE EXPERIENCED DIRECTOR IN HOLLYWOOD.

>> NOW I WAS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOB AND HOW THIS ALL FITS IN.

ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT THE FILM INDUSTRY AS A SET FOR CAR COMMERCIALS.

WHATEVER YOU CAN GET UP HERE.

>> WE MARKET THE AREA TO THE FILM WORLD.

AND THEN WE FOCUS ON FILM TOURISM WHEN THEY LEAVE.

>> IT DOESN'T GET ANY ANY BIGGER THAN THE RETURN OF THE JEDI.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN GET ON A ROAD TOUR.

WE OFTEN SAY WHAT HAS FILMED HERE IN THE PAST INDY FILMS LIKE TO KNOW.

THEY WANT STUDIO CAR COMPHAUR SCHULZ.

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHATTER YOUR SPECIAL FEATURES.

WHO'S HAD EASY ACCESS.

IT GIVES US VALIDITY WHEN IT COMES TO FILMING.

THE ONLY TIMES IT CAN BE A DETERRENT IN "A WRINKLE IN TIME."

I KNOW YOU'VE HAD RETURN OF THE JEDI WE WON'T STAND A CHANCE FILMING THERE.

OKAY.

AND THE WE WERE LOOKING AT OTHER TYPES OF TREES.

SO I SAID WELL WE HAVE TIME.

DO YOU MIND IF WE GO ON THIS AND LOOK AT THE REDWOODS.

YOU CAN'T NOT COME HERE AND NOT LOOK AT THE REDWOODS AND 15 MINUTES LATER THE SCHEDULE CHANGING AND THEY FILMED IN THE REDWOODS.

>> IT'S HARD TO BEAT THE GRANDIOSITY.

>> IT'S GOING TO LOOK DIFFERENT.

IT'S THEIR PROJECT.

THERE'S ENOUGH REDWOODS TO SHARE PRODUCTIONS.

>> NOT ALL REDWOOD FORESTS LOOK ALIKE.

>> WE'RE RECENTLY COMING OUT OF COVID.

YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT TO RAISE OUR PROFILE IN THE AREA.

>> ARE WE BOOMING AND BUSTERS IN THE FUTURE.

>> ACTUALLY WE DID REALLY WELL IN COVID.

WE HAD AN APPLE MOVIE INTERESTED IN COMING IN 24 APPLE WANTING TO COME PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC.

WE ENDED UP HAVING THAT FILM AND OTHER THING.

COMING OUT OF IT YOU WE'RE CONTINUING TO DO WELL.

NORMALLY WHEN THERE'S SOME TIME OF WORLD OR THE REST OF A LARGER OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA A LOT OF FILMING STAYS IN CALIFORNIA AND WE WERE ANTICIPATING OUR NUMBERS WERE GOING TO GET BIGGER.

BUT THE ONE THING THAT DID HURT THAT IS WE'RE GOING INTO A WRITER'S STRIKE.

SO THE WRITER'S STRIKE IS WHAT'S HURTING EVERYONE.

NETFLIX IS GOING TO SHARE AMONGST YOUR FAMILY.

SO THERE'S THINGS THEY'RE HAVING TO FIGURE OUT.

THAT CHANGES HOW MUCH CONTENT THEY'RE AND HOW MUCH FILMING THEY'RE DOING.

THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR HANDS WHICH IS WHY WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE FESTIVAL.

IT'S NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEEN.

THE FILM TOURISM.

>> NOW WITH THE WRITER'S STRIKE PRODUCTION WOULD CEASE OR PLANNING WOULD CEASE AT SOME POINT.

>> ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES WRITERS.

>> IN THE EARLY 2000s THAT'S WHEN REALITY TV CAME OUT.

>> NOT SURVIVE.

LOST SHUT DOWN.

IT WAS TERRIBLE.

>> A LOT OF IT HAS -- IF YOU DON'T NEED A WRITER.

WE CAN -- THAT'S WHEN THAT BOOMED.

SO PROBABLY WHETHER YOU LIKE THAT OR NOT WE MIGHT GET MORE REALITY TV.

WE'LL STILL GET THINGS.

WE'LL GET THE CONTENT WE LIKE TO HAVE.

>> BUT YOU MENTIONED WE ARE IN A WORLD WHERE'S THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT PRODUCED BY ONLINE PROVIDERS.

I IMAGINE YOU SPEND A LOT MORE TIME TO KEEP PACE FOR WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING, AND RATHER THAN PITCHING TO STUDIOS.

I'VE DONE SOME MEET AND GREETS.

HEY KEEP US IN MIND.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE EXECS.

IT'S THE LOCATION MANAGERS.

THAT'S THE PERSON IN SCOUTING AND EXPLORING.

THEY LEARN FROM THE PRODUCERS WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU READ THIS SCRIPT.

THEN THEY PUT ON THEIR CREATIVE HAT.

THEY'RE GOING TO SEE IS IT CLOSE ENOUGH TO A BASE CAMP TO HAVE MY WHOLE CAMP BUT LOOK WE'RE FAR DEEP IN THE WOODS BUT WE'RE IN A PARKING LOT.

AND WE CAN BRING IN CATERERS AND CAN WE GET TALENT THERE.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE HATS.

THEY HAVE TO BE >> PRAGMATIC.

>> IS IT REALLY FILM FRIENDLY.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'VE WORKED HARD ON IS IT FILM FRIENDLY.

AND TO HELP OUT WITH THAT.

>> IT'S FASCINATING WORK THAT YOU DO.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MOVIES THAT HAVE BEEN RETURN OF JEDI.

THERE WAS OUTBREAK THE MAJESTIC.

AND EACH OF U ONE OF THOSE HAS THEIR THINGS.

MA JESS CONTINUING WAS DISRUPTIVE FOR THE TOWN OF FERNDALE.

DO YOU THINK WE'RE LEARNING FROM EACH OF THESE PROJECTS AND WE'RE BECOMING A BETTER HOST COUNTY.

>> I THINK BOTH CAN BE TRUE.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT ABOUT A PROJECT.

BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I CAME IN AS SOMEBODY WHO WAS A PRODUCER OF 12 YEARS.

DID THREE FEATURE FILMS AND SO I KNEW WHAT I NEEDED WHEN I WENT.

>> WHAT SHOW.

>> HACIENDA HEIGHTS.

IT DIDN'T DO GREAT.

IT TAUGHT ME A LOT.

>> AND IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCED AND WHOLE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WENT ON TO DO BIGGER SHOWS.

>> IT'S KIND OF THE MODEL EVEN WITH THE FOREST MOON FESTIVAL.

IT FEELS MORE LIKE A EPISODIC TELEVISION.

>> AS FAR AS BECOMING FILM FRIENDLY REALIZING TAKING THAT EXPERIENCED I HAD,ING, AND WHEN I DID TAKE THIS JOB EXPERIENCING LIKE CALLING HOTELS WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR OUR PRODUCTIONS.

NOBODY KNEW WHAT THE FILM COMMISSIONER.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FILM COMMISSIONER.

IT'S MORE THAN ME JUST NOT ANNOUNCE YATING.

WE WERE LUCKY 12 YEARS AGO IF WE HAD ONE ARTICLE IN THE TIMES STANDARD A YEAR.

GRANTED THIS WAS AS SOCIAL MEDIA IS TAKING OFF.

BUT WE WERE ABLE OUR AUDIENCE ISN'T JUST PRODUCTIONS FOR US TO BE MARKETING TO.

WE NEED TO MARK MARKET TO OUR HOME AS WELL.

SO I THINK THAT TAKING THAT KNOWLEDGE THAT I HAD, EDUCATE, THE COMMUNITY AND THEN EVERYBODY EMBRACED.

SO WHEN WE GET THESE REQUESTS WE ARE ABLE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE UP TO PAR WHAT THEY NEED.

>> WE HAVE A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE NUMBER ONE SELLING POINT FOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO COME AND FILM.

>> IT'S THE REDWOODS.

I REMEMBER MY FIRST WALK WHICH I CAN'T TELL YOU YOU HOW MANY YEARS WHEN I WHAT IS KNOWN AS CAL PALO HUMBOLDT.

AS A FRESHMAN 18 YEARS OLD AND I WENT OUT IN THE FOREST IN WHITE JEANS.

NEVER WORE WHITE JEANS.

SEEING THE TREES FOR THE FIRST TRIM BLOWS YOUR MIND.

EVERY TIME I TAKE A PRODUCTION.

AND THEN I LIVE IT THRUL THROUGH THEM.

IT'S REALLY IT'S OVER WELCOME BACKING TO OH MY GOSH THE BEAUTY WHAT WE HAVE.

COASTLINE.

THE VICTORIAN VILLAGES THE ARCHITECTURE WHICH YOU ARE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS OF OUR AREA IS JUST REALLY, REALLY NEAT.

ON TOP OF THAT WE MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE HUMBOLDT MADE PRODUCTS IN A GIFT BASKET FOR THEM.

WE TAKE THEM OUT TO OUR RESTAURANTS.

WE TAKE THEM TO FARMER'S MARKET.

I'VE EVEN FOR DUVERNAY WHAT'S REAL ESTATE LIKE.

AND PURCHASING MAYBE A HOUSE HERE.

THEY FEEL THE VIBE OF THE WHOLE THING.

BUT IT STARTS WITH THAT.

>> IT ALSO SELINGS OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY.

L WELL I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

>> YAY!

HUMBOLDT OFFICER WAYNE INDUSTRIES CELEBRATED AT THE BUILDING WEDNESDAY.

CROWLEY THE COMPANY THAT WILL ON-SHORE OF OFFSHORE WIND ON THE SCHMO 81 PENINSULA.

JUST OUR STATE HAS SET TARGETS THAT ARE FULL CAPACITY WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF ENERGY THROUGH OFFSHORE WIND.

THIS TERMINAL IS NOT GOING TO SUPPORT EUREKA AND THE COMMUNITY OF HUMBOLDT BUT ALL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE U.S. WEST COAST.

AS WELL AS TECH AND APPLICATIONS CLASS.

ON A GREAT DAY AND AS MANY DAYS I CAN FIT WE SPEND IT OUTSIDE ENJOYING THESE AMAZING REDWOODS AND ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE FOUND AMONGST THEM.

>> LET ME SHOW YOU MY FAVORITE PART OF THE REDWOODS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THEIR BARK.

THIS IS A MEMBER OF OUR CYPRUS FAMILY.

SO REDWOODS ARE MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO CYPRUSES.

AND IT'S FIBROUS IN NATURE AND IT'S QUITE STRICKEN GEE.

WHICH HELPS TO FIGHT AGAINST DISEASES AND ALSO INSECT OUTBREAK.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING THESE TREES CAN FORM QUITE A PROTECTIVE LAYER OF BARK THE REDWOODS BRING SUCH AN AMAZING SENSE OF PEACE.

I LOVE WALKING BENEATH THEM AND HANGING OUT IN THEIR MICROCLIMATE AND HAVING THE ABILITY TO SEE HOW MOIST.

THESE TREES HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG.

THEY CAN LIVE FOR 500 TO 700 YEARS.

BUT SOMETIMES LIVE PAST 2000 YEARS.

I THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE HISTORY THAT THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN A PART OF.

>> YOU CAN WATCH ICONIC AMERICA RIGHT ON KAET ON APRIL 26th AT 10:00 P.M. REDWOOD WERE THE SUBJECT OF THE WEEK.

TREES ARE AWESOME.
