The Hunt for Happiness: Finding Optimal Happiness Points Short Film (Genre: Experimental Dramedy)
The Hunt for Happiness Short Film (short summary) A relationship therapist engages in a new type of joint experimental happiness therapy with some clients that facilitates his various life toolkit models such as happiness graphs, current happiness accounts/joy balance statements, happiness linear programming models, optimal happiness zones and optimal happiness points in an attempt to improve their individual and joint trajectories of happiness and overall life satisfaction. However as the relationship therapist attempts to reignite the sparks of love and find common familial bonds of love underneath the rubble of disagreement with a lens of objective honesty and some threads of reconciliation, he has to probe, inspect and dissect the perceptions, assumptions and the varying perspectives that each client has from the past memories that they share to follow a trail of emotional clues as each client responds to questions and provides answers. In the therapist's quest to explore and restore happiness in each client's life, the therapist must firstly however, establish what happiness means to each client, what each person feels happiness costs them, what happiness is worth to them and how each person measures happiness with their heart and mind to unlock their individual joy in a way that is mutually beneficial and that provides emotionally sustainable relationships from the optimal mutual happiness solutions that lie within their feasible happiness zone. (Experimental and based on some of the life toolkit models in the Horizons of Destiny: Mission Future Life Toolkit book which is due for publication in June/July 2025. This short film will have a runtime of about 30 mins due to the topics and storylines involved.)
