Happy Holidays is a 2007 independent film by S.Mohen. A mumblecore indie romance it follows the coming of age of Clarissa Ryder, a young painter forced to choose between her career and love. The team behind the project utilized the then new mediums of viral marketing via podcasts, facebook, myspace & twitter to fund the project through donations and market the film.

Director Sarah "Sassy" Mohen, & Co-producer Dillon Morris, both just 18 at the start of production lead the online campaign for fund-raising. Both students of Chapman University, when originally seeking help from the university were told the project was "too ambitious." The project was completed with the fund-raised micro budget over 33 days of set on weekends, due to the fact that all involved were in college.

After completion, S.Mohen took the film around the country with actress Mary Fae Smith and Producer Matthew Stubstad Today the website has received over 100,000 hits globally
