This documentary was born out of a project created by Hailey - the '365 Grateful Project'. In early 2008, in an effort to fight depression, Hailey started a year long photographic project which involved taking one Polaroid photo a day of something she felt grateful for. Initially this was a chore but eventually it became a delight.
The discipline of having to look for the good things that happened every day changed her life in so many ways. Hailey found not only her marriage, spiritual life and health improved, but this project accidentally, wondrously spread and affected the lives of many others. While doing her project Hailey posted it on flickr. Gradually others began to do their own versions and over time 365 Grateful went viral. The 365 Grateful Project has been featured in newspaper articles and magazines, radio and blogs around the world. Many of those touched by doing their own version of the 365 Grateful Project have written to Hailey about the impact it has had on their lives.
‘365 Grateful – the Documentary’ will cover Hailey’s inspiring personal journey and we meet extraordinary people whose lives have been impacted by gratitude. Through interviews with world leaders, authors, artists, scientists, spiritual teachers and musicians discussing topics such as health, happiness, relationships, marriage, mental health and the environment, the film will explore the effect that gratitude has on all facets of life. With Hailey's eye behind the camera this will be a film filled with beautiful imagery. Combined with Toni's ear for story the end result will be an entertaining, visually appealing and personal film that will inspire people to have a second look at what they already have in their hands.
