"Making this film was one of the most liberating filmmaking experiences of my life. I had no budget, no deadline, no broadcaster breathing down my neck. I animated only when I felt inspired. It was amazing just to make a film for me and not have to worry about anything else.”

--Jeff Shiba Stearns, creator of Yellow Sticky Notes, in Vancouver Animation.
