Happiness and Success -
Arts & Entertainment Academy
In this thoughtful documentary, students explore the meaning of happiness and success and what it takes to achieve both in life. Through research and interviews with people from different backgrounds and experiences, students discover that happiness and success can mean something different to everyone. The film examines the importance of setting goals, making positive choices, overcoming challenges, building meaningful relationships, and finding a sense of purpose, while giving interviewees an opportunity to share their personal perspectives on what it means to live a happy and successful life.
This film was created during a film workshop series with Young Moviemakers of America (YMA) during the 2026 school year.
