  • 在進行主要攝影之前，導演約翰西迪說：「我很高興能夠重返西澳州來拍我的首部電影，我在伯斯待了很多年，專門製作以青少年和家庭為主的戲劇作品，這樣的轉折再適合也不過了。」他補充說：「我也很高興有機會與Cyan Films的製片茱莉萊恩、坦妮兒甘廼迪以及編劇兼製片麗莎霍普合作，她建構了一個逗趣、古怪又感人的劇本，一定會引起任何與眾不同的孩子或家庭的共鳴。我很期待多認識當地有才華的演員和創意人士，並在奧巴尼多待一點時間，要把這個故事搬上銀幕，這個地方最適合作為故事背景。」

https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-h-is-for-happiness-a-heartwarming-family-tale-about-finding-optimism-in-the-world

The film opens with the introduction to the life of Candice Phee, played by Australian newcomer Daisy Axon ('Judy & Punch'), a 12-year-old girl who is unflinchingly honest, smart and hilariously forthright, but above all else, brazenly optimistic. It appears at first to be a tale about a typical girl entering adolescence in the small town of Albany in Western Australia, but the curtain is quickly drawn back, and we learn more about Candice's family, who are in complete disarray. Her mum (Emma Booth, TV's 'The Gloaming' and 'Once Upon a Time') has been living with depression since the death of Candice's baby sister Sky, while her dad (Richard Roxburgh, 'Moulin Rouge', TV's 'Rake') and his brother - Candice's beloved and ever-supportive Rich Uncle Brian (Joel Jackson, 'Jungle') - are not on speaking terms after a business deal fallout. Luckily for Candice, she meets Douglas Benson From Another Dimension (Wesley Patten), a quirky kid from out of town who, whilst trying to find his way back to his own dimension in the universe, finds the time to help Candice plot and scheme a way for her family to be happy again.
