Happy

The quest for happiness dictates the shape of many lives in the world. Some find religion, some seek love, but all are searching to be happy. Happy moves through hand-processed 16mm film to explore the intersection of happiness, apostasy, and love. Happy considers the fiction of happiness and what it truly means, how it is proselytized in the church, media, and each other. Can simply smiling bring about an emotional change? Can being told to be happy make you happy?
