Alice Austin's most recent work, Box of Happiness, offers a few pearls of wisdom for those who seek happiness: read a map; throw a party; drink coffee; sleep late; plant a garden; travel far; buy shoes. And my own favorite - eat more pie.
Matt Harnack, of Grass Fed Films, explores how individual happiness is magnified when pie becomes a community endeavor. His 12-minute documentary, Pie from Scratch, follows a high-schooler from San Francisco's Mission neighborhood to Pie Ranch in Pescadero, back to school, and ultimately to the Mission Pie shop that he helps to run. Excellent story-telling, with beautiful visuals. Makes me want to visit Pie Ranch, and also to eat more pie.
