I was approached back in the fall of 2011 by Collins along with Lynne Wilson & Jill Knox-Gosse to direct the film. And, like all indie films, it was a tumultuous journey getting the film made with various people attached to the project over a 5-year period. HereвЂ™s the ColeвЂ™s Notes version: Alan Collins, Nova Scotia producer, optioned Lesley CreweвЂ™s hit debut novel, Relative Happiness, six or seven years ago. This one is for John, Paul, Sarah and Joshua.Дeanne Foley co-wrote and directed RELATIVE HAPPINESS Thank you to LesleyвЂ™s CreweвЂ¦.family and friends who always believed in my writing and surround me with love every day. This is insane! Thank you to the producers, cast and crew for pouring their hearts into this film. What can be better than that?ДҐQ: Time to pre-plan: You just won the Oscar for Relative Happiness. YouвЂ™ll be smiling coming out of the theatre. The Maritime look and feel is authentic, the music enchanting. The characters are people you will care about. ItвЂ™s funny and loveable and a feel good film.

In your own words, why should people see your film? My best memories were meeting the characters come to life, and having my husband and daughter in the film with me, all of us pretending we were at an engagement partyвЂ¦.mouthing words for a couple of hours was fairly daunting!Д¤Q: Festival audiences often have to make hard decisions about what to see, and the catalog descriptions sometimes run together.

I made up these characters in my head, and never imagined the story would be a book, let alone a movie. Will you be less nervous now at Cinequest? Does this process ever get any easier? They are all incredibly patient!ДўQ: Relative Happiness has done quite well at other film festivals. I have to admit there were times I never thought it would happen, but these movie people never wavered.
