Happy In NYC

Inspired by Pharrell's and We Are L.A.'s video for Happy and their 24 Hours of Happy project, my name's Geoffrey Stevens and I'm shooting various New Yorkers all over the city in places and neighborhoods that make them happy. Or bringing the happy to places and people that could use some. Interested in participating? Have an idea for an unusual or unique location for a video? Contact me at geoffreystevens at gmail dot com or via Twitter @happyinnyc today!

I felt like revisiting this footage after shooting it 2+ years ago now and putting a new spin on it with a different tune, Francis And The Lights' "Darling, It's Alright." Enjoy and happy 4th of July, everyone!

When the last 2 episodes of the TV show I was working on were canceled, I had already bought a bunch of non-refundable plane tickets and made all the travel arrangements. Trying my best to make some lemonade out of lemons life just gave me, I flew down to Miami anyway and enjoyed a fun and relaxing two-day vacation. Here's the proof.

Johnny Manziel has the number-one selling jersey in the NFL this season, but he doesn't even play? Abby doesn't know anything about football and she hates sports, but she thinks that's total bullshit.

When she's forced to watch a football game with her roommate and his friends one night, Abby's daydreams find her inside a Pharrell Williams music video all about the one and only Johnny Football.

I actually shot this one-take video the other night while everyone was dancing to The Bee Gee's "You Should Be Dancing," but then I set it to Pharrell's "Gust Of Wind" today just for fun to see how it fit, and wouldn't you know, in a weird way it actually kind of works!
