HOLLYWOOD, California (HHR) — There’s always room for one more innovative movie theatre in town, right?  Well, Hollywood Happiness, the production company that claims to “mash-up” enlightenment and entertainment, has created a living-room themed screening venue to satisfy your enlightened cinema viewing tastes. Did I say living-room themed?  Actually, the Hollywood Happiness Cinema is a 300 square-foot living room belonging to Hollywood Happiness Producer, Sean A. Mulvihill.  Needless to say, seating is limited.

The room boasts high definition DLP projection via the Optoma PK301 pico projector unit, and 1500W of total Audio Surround Sound, sure to rattle the neighbor’s windows.  The picture, projected on a white wall, is approximately 7.5 feet diagonal, reminiscent of the Weird Al song, “Frank’s 2000 Inch TV” in which the viewer is impressed with the size of Robert DeNiro’s mole.   This isn’t quite that big, but in such a small room, seven and a half feet is pretty awesome.

“I just want to get this film and others like it out into the world,” 30 year-old Mulvihill says of his Wanna Be Now, LLC documentary collaboration, Living Luminaries: On the Serious Business of Happiness, “and if I have to turn my apartment in a movieplex, so be it.  If you build it, they will come.”

And come they have to prior, sporadic screenings of the work.

Living Luminaries, a 90-minute doc about finding inner peace co-starring Eckhart Tolle (author of The Power of Now), Marianne Williamson, Gary Renard, and Don Miguel & Jose Ruiz (authors of The Fifth Agreement), is currently out for DVD release by Simon and Schuster’s Beyond Words division, was a one-time Spiritual Cinema Circle release, has been quite popular in several international markets, but still remains largely unknown in the States.   Which begs the question: how do shoestring-budget indie filmmakers get their works seen when distributors employ a “buy and hold” strategy, without guaranteeing any advertising.  ”Be creative,” Mulvihill says, and he is doing just that.

Living Luminaries: On the Serious Business of Happiness screening nightly, August 24-December 31, at 8:15 P.M. at Hollywood Happiness Cinema, 7220 Hollywood Bl. Apt 106, Los Angeles, CA 90046.  $25 (tea, snacks, filmmaker Q&A, and an autographed copy of the DVD included).  Advance ticket reservations required.  For tickets call 310-980-6334 or visit www.hollywoodhappiness.com/tickets
