Vail, Colorado - The feel good movie of the year, SEROTONIN RISING, received rave reviews at the 2011 VAIL FILM FESTIVAL and sold out its world premiere screenings as more than 600 people crowded into standing-room only theaters. Thousands of movie-lovers attended the festival including movie stars, KATE BOSWORTH, JOSH LUCAS and SOPRANOS star, MICHAEL IMPERIOLI - who gave enthusiastic praise for the new film saying, "Serotonin Rising is one of the best films I've seen in quite a while." SEROTONIN RISING is a unique blend of non-fiction and narrative which seamlessly weaves together documentary interviews with an inspiring and heart-warming story-line about two TV news journalists, who discover that doing good deeds for others will make you happier and healthier. The movie is packed with special appearances and interviews with scientists, spiritualists and peacemakers, including His Holiness The DALAI LAMA, DEEPAK CHOPRA, DONOVAN, SWAMI KRIPANANDA, DR, LARRY DOSSEY and HARVARD "Happiness" professor, TAL BEN-SHAHAR. Based on a true scientific discovery, SEROTONIN RISING takes viewers on a journey into the magnanimous mind and uncovers new research from the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, which reveals the positive and healthy effects on the human brain and body when someone performs a kind act for another. Active brain scans conducted at the NIH show that our body's feel-good chemicals, such as serotonin and oxytocin, rise up when we do a good deed. Research has also discovered that performing kind acts also strengthens the body's immune system.
