Being lost and stitched back together through love and family with Amanda

<p>On this episode of ABC, witness how social connection in real life relationships can be built. Amanda and I connected on instagram through the podcast account and then we met two days later at an Also Known As Inc. event. I was able to speak with Amanda in person and also here about her short film, <strong>Yuan Fen. </strong>This is a project Amanda worked on in her senior year of undergraduate with a team of 40 people or so including 3 advisors, composer, and others. It was really cool to hear about the inception of this short and how it came to fruition.</p> <p><strong>Spoiler alert</strong> on her short film and also about Lilo &amp; Stitch.</p> <p>Amanda shares more about her own experiences with her adoption growing up and how the red thread connection holds a key place in her perceptions. We (me) dived into Pixar animation as well as other pop culture from our adolescent years.</p> <p>Watch Yuan Fen short by Amanda <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n14eUqZ1h0"><ins>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n14eUqZ1h0</ins></a> and follow her on instagram @amanda_sparso.
