(CNN) The socialist filmmakers who produced one of 2018's most viral campaign ads are back with a sequel, this time for Kaniela Ing, a House candidate and political ally of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who's running in Hawaii's 1st Congressional District.

Naomi Burton and Nick Hayes, Detroit-based members of the Democratic Socialists of America, connected with Ing after their ad for the Ocasio-Cortez campaign become an online sensation. Also a DSA member, Ing was among the first candidates touted by Ocasio-Cortez after her victory on June 26.

A Hawaii for the many is possible, but we have to take it, together.



On August 11, this movement can make history, but I need your help.

Ing, 29, was first elected to Hawaii's state House at age 23. He is now part of a crowded primary field vying to replace Democratic Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, who is leaving Congress to run for governor.

His campaign, backed like Ocasio-Cortez's by the progressive Justice Democrats, is banking on grass-roots organizers and a political platform that includes Medicare for all, the rejection of corporate money and his newly unveiled "housing for all" plan, which includes new rent stabilization laws and a "Tenant's Bill of Rights."

Producers Burton and Hayes, who met at a DSA gathering soon after the 2016 election and founded their small media company, Means of Production, in 2017, were paid less than $10,000 for the Ocasio-Cortez ad. After it exploded on social media, they reached out to Ing on Twitter, pitched him and -- for about $15,000 this time -- were off to Hawaii a few weeks ago to start filming.
