Maybe the Mayan calendar got it right - but we got the Mayan calendar wrong.
That's the premise of "2012: The Beginning," the documentary that opened the 2012 Maui Film Festival on Wednesday.
The festival, featuring some 45 movies of all shapes, sizes, genres and styles, will continue this afternoon through Sunday night at Wailea's outdoor Celestial Cinema and in Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. FOLLOW:

Inspired by The Artist, Renee Kayon, who worked as the best “boy” (lighting technician) on the Oscar-winning movie, has just made her own black-and-white homage to love. It’s called “Le Petit Nuage.” And while The Artist was shot by French people in L.A., George, an L.A. resident, filmed her wordless movie in Paris. It’s short and sweet, perfect for anyone needing a snack of Paris.
Meanwhile, for fans of The Artist, here are some terrific candid behind-the-scenes photos from the set. Photos: Yvette Gallardo D'Elia
