a common obsession, 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. a direct result of attending too many weddings, happy explores the intersection of happiness, apostasy, and love. a journey through hand-processed 16mm memories, happy begins with a kiss and ends in “god’s love”.
a pointed response to yoko ono’s smile project, 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?
has anyone told you that god loves you?
