Tuesday 3rd June, London, UK: Dogwood Cinematic is excited to celebrate the International Premiere of Our Happy Place at Raindance Film Festival on 20th June. Raya, a lonely woman caring for her bedridden husband, is haunted by terrifying nightmares. She wakes up each morning in the forest, falling deeper into freshly dug graves beneath her. As supernatural forces torment her and the line between dream and reality collapses, she unearths a horrifying secret buried within the woods—and herself. The film was written and shot during the pandemic. Working around quarantine limitations, Bickel and Miles filmed everything locally to their home outside of LA, and later expanded production once restrictions eased to include two further cast members on set. The claustrophobia of being stuck inside during quarantine has clear influence on the film's camera work. Our Happy Place stars Raya Miles and Paul Bickel in their feature acting debuts, Tracie Thoms (Rent, Looper, The Devil Wears Prada), and Eugene Byrd (8 Mile, True Blood, American Horror Story). Our Happy Place was written and directed by Paul Bickel (short films Hollow, and Turning Japanese). Our Happy Place is his feature directing debut. Check out the trailer below: |
