The Happiness Angel

LOGLINE: After a celebrity therapist known online as The Happiness Angel is tasered, she experiences the real-life taser-related disorder EXCITED DELIRIUM. She develops a compulsion to attack her lovers mid-act, electrifying her sex life and transforming her into a dangerous Jekyll and Hyde-type personality.

Inspired by true events, THE HAPPINESS ANGEL (together with its associate title TASERED) is a multi-award-winning feature screenplay with BEST THRILLER and BEST COMEDY wins at WorldFest Houston – established 55 years ago – plus 47 other 2022/23 International Film Festival outright wins during development. This phenomenal award-winning run has been independently verified by Film Freeway.

The heart of this female-led, darkly comedic thriller set in the UK lies in the psychosexual powerplay between its main cast. In Hollywood speak, Candy Towne – The Happiness Angel – is a tough-as-nails Erin Brockovich denouncing the taser industry with Basic Instinct's Catherine Tramell lurking inside her, Killing Eve-style.

Candy’s mental instability is a fascinating juxtaposition to her success as a wellness influencer. She’s a 30-year-old high-profile dame with an embarrassing problem, regular clients and a weekly vlog to post. Her performance is sharp and sexy with a temperament and a tongue quicker than her brain.

I am an award-winning (Daily Express Award for Innovation, 1993) stress management consultant specializing in problems of the subconscious mind. Professionally, I know these characters inside out... They rock!

My first in a series of health books – and still in print today – After Stroke, published by Thorsons (UK) in 2000 and HarperCollins (USA) in 2001 featured in an episode of BBC TV’s Cornish Chronicles; on ITV’s This Morning show with Richard Madeley, and on Channel 5 TV News.

My lifetime of mental health expertise is invested in THE HAPPINESS ANGEL. With mental health problems at an all-time high, the unique premise and dynamic characters in this high concept, cross-genre screenplay should connect and appeal to both young and older adults in today’s interconnected digital world.
