Jeff Chiba Stearns Interview: Yellow Sticky Notes

While the main purpose for our interview with Jeff was to talk about his documentary film One Big Hapa Family, that didn’t mean we couldn’t go back in his past a bit and talk about his award winning, amazing animated/documentary film Yellow Sticky Notes. Besides being a film everyone should see, it was the start of something Jeff has continued with One Big Hapa Family, namely, blending animation into a documentary film. Yellow Sticky Notes shows how a simple idea can become a creative masterpiece! In this first part of our interview with Jeff he talks about Yellow Sticky Notes and its creation.
