The following is an experimental documentary framed through the lens of a pilot episode for a fictional TV show focusing on the study & analysis of emotion. Through the fictional character of Dr Landis, a “self aware” text to speech computer voice, we take an honest and true glimpse at some of the elements and different forms of happiness around the world.
Researched, Edited and Conceptualised by Samuel O. Schrag.
