I am a admirer of Sagmeister and saw The Happy Film yesterday evening. I felt really captivated and identified by it.My final project for my university is about leaving behind my obsession for control and start this specific project avoiding it. I am having a lot of spots, imperfections and abstract forms. Then I created a textile collection with all this processes.>Somehow our projects are so different, but so similar at the same time. It really encouraged me to see that I am not the only freak out there experimenting with myself and getting out of my comfort zone due to my own idea. Totally hard and discomforting.... and then you get so much from it.I absolutely loved the film and recommend it to people who want to discover more their personal creativity.

Just a half an hour ago I finished watching the film and I feel deeply touched. I am myself a graphic designer and I believe people like Stefan are keeping our profession considered as art. Existential questions and thoughts about happiness are a big part of my life for the past few years. They are leading me in many dilemmas through my life even though I don't have answers for them. I enjoyed the graphics of this movie so much it made me envy them. It's not common to share such intimacy with an audience in a documentary but in the film it felt natural and normal. I got so touched by this movie I felt like I'm taking part of it. Thank you.

Hello Stefan, I have seen a few days ago in the Metro-cinema in Bregenz together with my wife "The Happy Film". My wife and my two grown sons also saw the exhibition (I unfortunately not :-( .. so I wanted to see the film absolutely.This was just terrific, brave (!), emotional, often to laugh, touching, very personal - just real! And this cornucopia of creativity just struck me from the chair.I run a printing shop and I am constantly engaged in communication, typography and creative ideas - so I liked the implementation.But, of course, you have dealt very well with the theme of the topics - it's all about "happiness".My wife and I always talk about the film and have recommended this to our two guys and our friends - simply because this is so worth seeing.Kind regards from the "Ländle" - keep it up!

This was the most authentic, human, openly honest, and beautiful thing I've seen in a long while. So naked, so personal, yet so pertinent that it hurt, but in the best way possible. It made me feel, made me think, made me cry, made me laugh. It made me feel alive. It made me feel connected. It was like seeing the sun rise early in the morning, when the rest of the world seems to be asleep. Like witnessing something so rare, it has to be sacred. It's an incredibly human, humane, and fearless deconstruction of Sagmeister's life in front of the rest of the world, and a reminder of how beautiful, despite everything, life is to begin with. Please find a way to see it if you haven't done so already.
