It is based on the short film of the same name that won Best Sound Design at the Action On Film Festival in 2007, and its screenplay won Best Adapted Screenplay in 2008. <SEP> In the mid 1980s Ansara was involved in the Australian anti-nuclear movement and wanted to make a film about Australia's relationship with the US. She originally intended to make a documentary but then it evolved into a dramatic feature about a married relationship that acted as a paradigm for the US- Australia relationship. Ansara: It was a bit of a crude analysis, but it took so long to make( under the 10 BA system) that by the time we finished the film- it was 1987- for various reasons, the anti-nuclear movement was on the way out, so the film missed its time. And with films, timing is everything. If we had done it in a year, which we could n't, it probably would have done very, very well. As it was, it did return 40 percent to the investors, but that was because it was very low- budget. The interesting thing about the film is that, if the audience was not very sophisticated, they liked it enormously. If they were sophisticated, they thought it was really daggy. The Pursuit of Happiness is a 1988 Australian film directed by Martha Ansara. <SEP> Strock was born in Boston, and moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was 13.
