Something Special
Something Special (New Zealand) – DC Premiere!
SATURDAY, MAY 14, 10 AM
Directed by Kristi L. Simkins
Narrative Short (3 Minutes)
A young war veteran explores the magnificent wilds of New Zealand to fulfill the last wish of a close friend who died in combat, allowing the veteran to reconnect with his friend while coming to terms with the traumatic memory. This is a powerful film about friendship, loss, and healing.
SOMETHING SPECIAL was written and directed by Kristi L. Simkins. With Academy Award-winning producer Barrie Osborne (LORD OF THE RINGS, THE MATRIX) as executive producer, the film was shot with a RED ONE on location in Queenstown, New Zealand. SOMETHING SPECIAL features the voice of retired U.S. Marine Dallas Barnett.
“[SOMETHING SPECIAL] was well performed and beautifully directed. The idea of contrasting the peace and beauty of New Zealand with the horror of war was an interesting and ambitious undertaking. I commend Kristi for taking risks with the storytelling.”
– Sir Peter Jackson (LORD OF THE RINGS)
