Joy - A vlogumentary on happiness (Featuring JME and David Vujanic)

  • Rafael Vencatachellum

My latest work comes in the form of a documentary, about happiness, it's called: Joy. Its all about happiness and the whole human experience around the topic, it covers subjects such as money and happiness, sustaining happiness, the things that make us happy, and other factors. The documentary features grime legend and overall positive influencer; JME, alongside David Vujanic a YouTube star with his own strong beliefs towards positivity himself. Both of them giving essential information and knowledge to the documentary. 

The overall style of the documentary is informal compared to the stereotypical documentary style you may see elsewhere, hence i've named it a "Vlogumentary". It contains a lot of raw and authentic moments, unforced, unplanned, and captured naturally, which is why I think people of my generation will find it engaging, and relatable too. 

I plan to release the film in November and do an initial screening at "The Museum of Happiness" in Camden on the 4th of November, and the online release a week later.

I really believe this piece of work could have a real positive impact and influence on those that watch, and I think it really normalises talk of mental health and happiness in a way that doesn't make it seem stigmatised. I believe that this documentary can really give people the inspiration to think a bit about happiness, and hopefully be able to relate and think about their own. If there’s one success or wish I could have, is that this film inspires someone else to FEEL more... to be more aware of the great things in their lives, to be more aware of the importance of happiness, and to spread more.
