ADAM SHELL, documentary filmmaker known for "Put the Camera on Me" (2003) and "Finding Kraftland" (2007), is our special guest this Sunday night!

The gap between our desire for happiness and our failure to find actual examples of happiness was the impetus for ADAM's current documentary, "Pursuing Happiness," which has earned audience and critical acclaim at film festivals and will be released in theatres later this year. Over the course of nearly two years, he put the pieces of the film together from interviewing over a dozen experts in the fields of psychology, spirituality, mindfulness, and the arts, to going on the road to track down America's happiest people. The people ADAM finds are as diverse and complex and as ordinary as one might imagine - street artists, public officials, parents - just regular folks who for whatever reason are a center of joy and meaning for everyone around them. The end result is a documentary that is not only uplifting and affirmative as ADAM intended, but also poignant and brutally honest in examining the delicate balance between profound happiness and mournful sorrow.

TANNA FREDERICK, star of indie classic films "Hollywood Dreams" and "Queen of the Lot," is our special guest this Sunday night!

TANNA is an accomplished actress of stage and screen, who gained nationwide praise for her starring role in Henry Jaglom's film, "Hollywood Dreams." She was described as a "young Bette Davis on crack" and compared favorably to legends like Lucille Ball, Judy Garland and Fanny Brice. "Hollywood Dreams is driven by Ms. Frederick's no-boundaries commitment to her broken character," wrote the New York Times, "a performance that is startling as it is touching."

TANNA's relationship with Jaglom was extended to "Irene in Time" in which TANNA was reunited with "Hollywood Dreams" co-stars David Proval, Zack Norman and Karen Black. Later she starred in Jaglom's romantic comedy "Queen of the Lot" opposite Noah Wyle. The film picked up "Hollywood Dreams" Maggie Chase character three years later, where Chase, now an action-movie star, is under house arrest for multiple DUIs. Other projects with Jaglom include the film "Just 45 Minutes From Broadway" (in which she starred opposite Judd Nelson), and "The M Word" (with Corey Feldman and Michael Imperioli). Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times said of her performance in "The M Word," "Ms. Frederick's gift for juggling farce, fantasy and raw emotion remains impressive."

TANNA can now be seen starring this summer in Jaglom's romantic mystery "Ovation" opposite James Denton. The story is set in the backstage world of theatre where the cast struggles to keep their play afloat while they search for a murder suspect amongst themselves. She is also producing and starring in the virtual reality series "Defrost." Directed by Randal Kleiser, series cast members include Bruce Davison, Harry Hamlin, Christopher Atkins and Carl Weathers.
