“Entertaining to its core… Universally compelling” (Film Journal)

“Personal, thoughtful, and visually arresting.” (Scientific American)

Grammy Award–winning graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister lives in a world many can only dream of, designing album covers for the likes of The Rolling Stones and Jay Z, and he’s made a name for himself by upending the status quo. In this “highly entertaining confessional that is as much a reality show as experimental art piece” (Wired), he undergoes an experiential journey in order to determine if he can have a meaningful impact on his own happiness. Working sequentially with experts in meditation, talk therapy, and pharmaceuticals, he perseveres in spite of all the unpredictable entanglements of real life—death, sex, art, friendship, love, and his signature chutzpah. This visually compelling, and stimulating film echoes Sagmeister’s popular “Happy Show” museum exhibition, which has toured internationally.
