Happy Birthday Warren is a deeply personal short film by our very own Jeff Brownell. Having worked on the storyline for quite a few years before shooting ever began, it draws from his own life experiences.
Growing up in Toronto offered plenty of inspiration for locations. Jeff shot in the Annex, the neighbourhood where he grew up, which provided a textured backdrop to the musings of the main character.
Happy Birthday Warren is a meditative story, focusing on the elusive nature of happiness. This is a universal theme that we can all relate to. We hope this film inspires its audience to reflect on their own happiness and their responsibility to it.
