I told you I would keep you updated on any information regarding the film The Happiness Salesman. After the production stills came out I e-mailed Kaos Films to try and get more details about it. Olivia from Kaos Films replied quickly to my inquiry and this was her reply…

Dear Vanessa,

Thank you for your interest in the Kaos Films and your inquiry.

“The Happiness Salesman” written by Steve Gomez is a winner of the British Short Screenplay Competition. It is the biggest international short screenplay competition in the world receiving over two thousand entries each year. The competition is judged by an eminent panel of judges including Kenneth Branagh, Sir Alan Parker, Nik Powell, Natascha Wharton and Stephen Woolley. 

It is directed by BAFTA nominated director Krish Majumdar and stars Christopher Eccleston and Archie Panjabi. The film was shot on location in London with kind support from Arri Media, Kodak, Pinewood Studios and Technicolor. It is currently in post production and we hope to have a premier in January at BAFTA.

Regards,
Olivia
