We will try to find them in six different parts of the world (France,Tanzania, U.S.A, the Amazon, Mongolia and Japan) in order to show that this feeling is universal.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Pays" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/77624/pays.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Happy People Are Happy works like a  doctor's prescription :</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> the six ten-minute episodes are <strong>six happy doses</strong>, that you can watch whenever you want or whenever you need!</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> How we will look for these six Happy Ambassadors ?</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><i>1st meeting:</i></strong></p> <p> We will start our journey with someone we have known for a long time. We will meet him in Harlem. Since we started this project we knew that we wanted to film his life. We can’t wait to introduce you to <strong>Archie</strong>, a man whose life has been guided by art. An old New Yorker, he owns an art shop where you can buy everything, furnitures included.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><i>Happy booth :</i></strong></p> <p> We will set up a street booth on which you can read "What Makes You Happy?". Passengers passing by will have the opportunity to <strong>show</strong>, in their own style, the way they <strong>feel happy</strong>. after that we will pick one to be a Happy Ambassadors. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><i>Charity Organisation :</i></strong></p> <p> We’re now working with <strong>Afrique Durable</strong> that offers to young africans the ability to attend French business schools. At the same time they work in Africa to build a library and places of knowledge and exchange. They accepted our project in order to set up <strong>Happy Meetings</strong>, once the documentary will be finished. They will also introduce us to natives in Tanzania who still live like their ancestors !</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><i>Path :</i></strong></p> <p> We will follow a flow of people by asking them who’s the person they think is the happiest among their relatives. Then we will meet them and find the one that will became a Happy Ambassador. Therefore we can <strong>study the differences</strong> between what we show and the <strong>deep feelings</strong> we have. This is a key point that will <strong>teach </strong>us how to deliver a true and easy to understand documentary.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Mazzali" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/78314/Mazzali.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A documentary ?</strong></p> <p> Not only. Happy People are Happy is a <strong>cinematographic work</strong>. A <strong>hybrid</strong> creation. The three of us are truly passionate about cinema, photography, scenario and post-production, all of these parts that makes a documentary and even more takes are a key point in our work. With all our heart and techniques we will focus on the <strong>finest details </strong>to deliver to you a master piece. From lightings to composition, you’ll truly see the difference with a handheld style documentary. <strong>Our engagement</strong> is to deliver a truly accessible and unique story in its finest details.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Building the story</strong></p> <p> Every episode will be accompanied by a different musical style. From opera to electronic, we will build episode like <strong>music videos</strong>. Three different axis will be treated :</p> <p> - <strong>Meetings with people. </strong>Their environments and the details of their daily life.</p> <p> - <strong>The movies they will shoot.</strong> Thanks to a video camera that we will lend them for 24 hours. Their mission will be to film the moments when they feel happy.</p> <p> - <strong>Exhibits or performances</strong>. They will be made once we head back to France and they will represent the sum of the Happy Ambassadors feelings as well as ours.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Follow us !</strong></p> <p> Every week, we will make small clips that will show you how the project is going on.. You will also find some extra <strong>photos</strong> and <strong>stories</strong> that we want to share. During this whole adventure you will have the ability to <strong>interact </strong>with us, some of the backers will even have the opportunity to access an early version of the documentary !
