Home Is Where You're Happy

Home Is Where You're Happy (31.00 Minutes, 2003), is a series of six short videos dealing with masculinity, sexuality, violence and fear in post-9/11 media culture.

Home Is Where You're Happy has been exhibited internationally as a full-length video, a multi-channel installation, and individual short videos. In 2005, the full-length version won the National Film Board of Canada's Best Emerging Canadian Film and Videomaker Award at the Images Festival of Film, Video, and New Media (Toronto, ON).

The six videos that comprise Home Is Where You're Happy are Mustache Park, Junk Mail, Post-Mortal Ejaculation, The Director's Cut, A Safer America, and Prevention Tank.


"Not willing to be absorbed into primetime programming, Jeremy Drummond's Home is Where You're Happy takes a stab at pop culture and literally draws blood. He amplifies the paranoia of sexuality in contemporary media culture, where lurking child molesters, fundamentalist fear-mongering and Britney Spears all collide onscreen into a soup of FCC violations and wry how-dare-you-do-that-on-television eye poppers." - Images Festival of Film, Video, and New Media
