Happy Hunting

Happy Hunting is a short, personal documentary about a quarter-life
crisis journey across the US to find the meaning of happiness.
Director Nicole Prowell travelled from Boston to Portland, Oregon in
May 2008 interviewing a variety of people she encountered along the
way, while discovering that sometimes happiness is best left
undefined. Screened at the 2009 Emerson Film Festival at the
Writer’s Guild of America Theater in LA, and at the
2009 New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth, NH.
