the importance of forgiveness in collaboration…

We all make mistakes, and when we see past errors, we recognize the God-nature of our partners; we find the seeds of truth in what they say and do…it is not the elaborate, far-reaching project that brings the world peace, but rather the echoes of our direct loving relationship with our nearest brothers and sisters we partner with on a daily basis.  Let’s put the emphasis on the here and now, not “finger-pointing” and finding villains in the world.  This is practical and experiential.  How many times do we undertake lofty goals only to feel empty inside?  With this inside-out method of working, we now let go and surrender our projects to God’s guidance every moment.  We let go, we have faith, and the result that faith is joy, here and now.  Isn’t that what we are doing it for?

Reclaim Your Power

Hey there,

My friend Emrys Hanley taught me how to reclaim my power today.

If you want to reclaim your power, tune into our upcoming webseries, which I call the “Hollywood Happiness Club”, but I don’t know if that is the actual title we’re gonna go with…

We’re Still Here…

Hey there Hollywood Happiness-ite!

I just wanted to let you know that we are hanging on by a thread here, but by golly, Hollywood Happiness Films is gonna make a movie this year come hell or high-water.

I’ve been pounding the pavement with my newly-minted script, Holiday Spectacular, and of course I’m always ready to show Living Luminaries to anyone.  Oprah Winfrey’s Documentary Film Club will be watching LL this week, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

As far as the Holiday Spectacular film, I’ve gotten a few nibbles from established production companies and agents, so we’ll see if we can do this thing Hollywood-style, otherwise we’ll cobble together what we can for an exciting indie shoot!

Let me know what you are up to by leaving a comment below.  What is your 2012 commitment to increase happiness around the globe???

Love,

Sean

Quick Update as to What’s Changing

Hey there Hollywood Happiness:  there are a few developments going on in November.

–  I am going to screen Living Luminaries and talk about happiness at Occupy Santa Barbara on November 8.

– The film is screening at the Goddess Festival of Mendocino on 11/11/11 and at the Hanuman Center in San Francisco on 11/12/11.

–Living Luminaries will screen at the Temple of Peace, Maui, on 11/19/11.  I am still looking for a low-cost plane ticket to attend this event, and a homestay on Maui.

–I will be fundraising for “Holiday Spectacular” and other Hollywood Happiness Entertainment projects for the next month solid.  Anyone who meets me will be asked to give us money.

–Remember the “new secret” as I like to call it: you don’t have to work as hard as you think.  Instead ask God what you should do, and She will say “just be happy”, and then let God do all the work for you, you just show up and be happy.  You can accomplish gigantic things this way — that’s how Living Luminaries was made and that is how Hollywood Happiness came into being.  If it feels like work, you are not showing up correctly within your mind.

All for now, thanks,

Sean

The film includes interviews with today’s visionaries including Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle, and Michael Beckwith.

UPDATE: New Cast In Stephen King’s “Dead of Night”

***UPDATE:  Hollywood Happiness’s Very Own Lara Fisher and Sean A. Mulvihill have joined the scary / funny cast of this show for the final weekend Nov. 4-6.  Ticket details below.

Every October, a fair percentage of us look for some bone-chilling weekend entertainment to supplement our mundane fall existence.  Maybe all this heat in the air is in response the subzero scares found at Visceral Theatre Co. production of “Dead of Night” at the Lankershim Arts Center in North Hollywood.

The show consists of six adapted Stephen King short stories, each one more gruesome than the last.  The final piece of the night, “The Ten O’Clock People,” directed by Jana Wimer and adapted for the stage by Dan Spurgeon, has the largest ensemble, the greatest impact, and is worth waiting for.  The taut tale of a cigarette-smoker who doesn’t quite quit, fumes with eeriness until the climax, which will have you ripping the padding off of the armrest!  Be prepared.  Runs til November 6.  For tickets:  http://www.thevisceralcompany.com/tickets.html

The underground resistance reacts as they realize they are being betrayed by their leader in "The Ten O'Clock People," one of six short plays based on stories by Stephen King in The Visceral Company's production of "DEAD OF NIGHT," now playing at the Lankershim Arts Center through November 6. From left to right: Erica Rhodes, Roger Weiss, Carl Bradley Anderson, Corey Craig, Renée-Marie Brewster, and Jared Martzell.
