The documentary film “One Happy Movie”, documents the 10-day journey by
student filmmakers, from the University of Central Florida and Full Sail,
visiting 12 states, more than 40 towns or cities, interviewing over 360
people at various locations including churches, businesses, universities,
historical landmarks, and the grandest city of them all, New York. All this to
discuss something so simple, yet rarely asked… “What makes you happy?”
One simple question bought joy, laughter, tears, memories, and numerous other
emotions to the individuals we met. The experience was truly unbelievable and
the reception by the many cities and local communities was very heart-warming.
Who knew such a simple concept would spawn such deliberating thought and
happiness for a documentary that started as a simple concept in the summer of
2001. Before September 11th changed the world, before war changed our lives,
before times were supposed to be different.
The documentary is being called “the greatest reason to believe in happiness”
by student filmmaker and executive producer Aaron Mighty. He states, “the
journey alone was like a roller coaster of ups and downs with tons of laughter
in between” and guarantees that the film will provoke similar emotions into an
audience.
The film, which has already sparked a great deal of debate and
national attention, will premiere on Saturday, November 22 in the Orlando, FL
area.
The student filmmakers will then continue to share their discoveries and
experience by touring the same production route to showcase the film within
select cities throughout December and January while also hitting the film
festival scene.

The student filmmakers found no shortage of happiness throughout their travel,
even in the nation's capitol as Michael Goodman, IRS volunteer, said “helping
others and that sense of fulfillment” made him happy, while Lawrence Doherty
artistically proclaimed “music.” John Bedford of Daytona Beach, stated “the
first time my grandson recognized me.” Joseph and Barbara Derrow, Broadway,
VA, described happiness as “being married for 48 years.” In Brooklyn,
NY, “great friends” made Amy Fantin happy.

For 'Saints & Sinners 4' we have the most impressive lineup of films we
have had to date. We have the North American debut of a smash hit short from
the United Kingdom that will play in the United States for the first time at
'SS4'. We have three of the most inventive and funny shorts I have ever seen
in 'The Animal Grappler 1 & 2' and 'Farmer McCallister's Thinking Machine'
that are sure to be crowd favorites and we have the Feature Film 'The
Ghouls' that is premiering in LA later this month to some already solid
revues and will be our Main Event. Throw in many other very solid films and
some Industry surprise guests and we have a day of extra-ordinary
Independent film fun and enjoyment lined up for the eager film community.
What we need now is the sponsors to step forward and help us bring this
event to life so that we can continue what we've started. We want to build
upon this wonderful event that helps the struggling film community and
brings attention to those filmmakers who are out there doing everything they
can to have their 15 minutes. Help us continue to give that to them and
bring more attention to the growing film community here at home. Advertising
such as posters, flyers and programs need to be purchased. Trophies and
other awards need to as well and we can use all the help we can get.
Sponsorship packages are outlined on the web site that I have provided
below. If you are interested in getting involved as a sponsor then please
get in touch with me as soon as possible as the Festival is right around the
corner. If getting involved as a sponsor isn't something you're interested
in at this point then helping spread the word to others you think may be
interested is just as helpful.
Either way we are happy to have been associated with all of you and we
hope you continue to be a part of this event as we hope to help it grow and
be a force in the Florida film Community for years to come.
Thanks for everything.

Hello All,
I wanted to send an email out to everyone who's been a supporter of our
'Saints & Sinners Film Festival'. Whether it be as a sponsor or moral
support, we appreciate all of you being a part of this. We started out with
something we thought we could put together to have some fun and show some
films. It's turned into a string of successful festivals that has given
opportunities to dozens of promising young filmmakers and screened over 50
Independent films and has even begun to get National recognition. We have a
great thing going and are hoping to keep the ball rolling and raising the
bar with each one.
