5 years ago I caught a glimpse of the happy film at the DSee event in D.C. Thanks to social media, and Stefan capturing my attention, I was able to watch it this past weekend. There were many times over the years I wished it was ready to view. I am so thankful it took on a journey and life of its own. It was the perfect day to watch it. It is captivating, hilarious and sweet!

This is now what you usually watch, and that's why you absolutely need to see it. This movie is so brave and honest and funny. There are plenty of movies about chasing happiness, but this one is different. Don't expect to find simple answers to timeless questions like 'What is happiness' and 'How to become happy' in this movie, but I promise you'll get a hint that will change your life.

I am a admirer of Sagmeister and saw The Happy Film yesterday evening. I felt really captivated and identified by it.My final project for my university is about leaving behind my obsession for control and start this specific project avoiding it. I am having a lot of spots, imperfections and abstract forms. Then I created a textile collection with all this processes.>Somehow our projects are so different, but so similar at the same time. It really encouraged me to see that I am not the only freak out there experimenting with myself and getting out of my comfort zone due to my own idea. Totally hard and discomforting.... and then you get so much from it.I absolutely loved the film and recommend it to people who want to discover more their personal creativity.

The Happy Film begins with an introductory disclaimer: "This film will not make you happy". I can attest to the fact that in my experience, this introductory disclaimer was indeed wrong. I found The Happy Film to be an entertaining and beautifully executed film with just the right amount of joy, humor, reflection, and despair. The exploration of a subject as revealing as one's own happiness is sure to be deeply personal at times, and Stefan Sagmeister's refreshingly candid journey from what makes us happy, to ultimately what holds us back from ever achieving it, doesn't shy away from uncomfortable introspection. The Happy Film succeeds as a very thoughtful and human film.
