The film: Agent of Happiness:
How can you measure happiness? The country of Bhutan invented Gross National Happiness to do just that, and Amber is one of the agents who travels door to door to meet people and measure how happy they really are. He is still living with his elderly mother at the age of 40, but is nevertheless a hopeless romantic who dreams of finding love: a happiness agent who is in search of his own happiness. We embark with Amber on a cross-country road trip meeting citizens from all walks of life, reminding us of the fragility and beauty of our own happiness. No matter where we live.

Certificate:
Synopsis
The Parking Lot Movie deep-dives into The Corner Parking Lot in Virginia, a place you might assume is simply for parking cars, but which, in actual fact, is where local liberal arts students come to work and to ponder the very essence of human nature and life. Funny, insightful, and surprising, this documentary is full of unforgettable characters and insights, not to be under-estimated!
We pre-recorded a Q&A with director Meghan Eckman, which we will share at the end! It was great to chat with her, and we can't wait for you to hear more about the behind-the-scenes.
