PBS ArtistsFilmmaker Stuart Yamane is dedicated to showing the unexpected side of the Islands, the personal stories that go beyond the stereotypes and fill out the true picture of Hawai‘i and its people. His film “Artist,” produced with PBS Hawaii, does just that.

Hawai‘i is home to artists working in every genre, from music to dance to the visual arts. Yamane’s film profiles five of them, featuring thought-provoking interviews and footage of their creative techniques and artistic works.

What is it like to dedicate yourself to a life of creative expression? As one of the subjects of “Artist” says, “I don’t make a lot of money, but I feel good every day.”
