Documentary on Happiness Looking for Interviewees

According to Deloitte's Shift Index survey -- 80% of people are dissatisfied with their jobs. The consumption of antidepressants is rising every year and the vast number of people taking antidepressants, live in the wealthiest countries in the world. It appears that although many who live in the Western World have access to material things they have not found the recipe for happiness.

Tom Reissmann, the director and producer, is a travel videographer but he also helps people to follow their passion of living abroad and traveling by teaching them how to make a living with travel videos. He teaches people about videography through an online course as well as during workshops in the US and France.

Through this documentary, he wants to explore the notion of happiness and inspire people to pursue their own version of happiness. Toward this purpose, he is going to interview people around the world about the concept of happiness, especially those who have made major changes as a result of trauma, spiritual quest or other epiphanies that caused them to radically change their lives in order to actively pursue their happiness in a new place or a new way. He will examine what changes they have made, what sacrifices they have made and what motivated them to pursue their own version of happiness.
