The citizens of The Pink Forest stare into iridescent cubes and cannot look away. Apple, Bird, and Violet manage to break their trance. They experience the sensuality of fruit and each other in The Forest, but soon realize it is not enough. The Special People embark on a journey to bring the other citizens of The Forest back to consciousness by destroying the master cube, guarded by the formidable Overlords. Along the way, Apple gets separated from Bird and Violent, and must continue the journey alone. She encounters many obstacles, and learns that if she is to free the citizens of The Forest, she may have to sacrifice her own life.

Mostly recorded in a single room in Brooklyn, THE SPECIAL PEOPLE is the culmination of 15 years of creating video art that ranges from delightfully playful to daringly vulnerable. Director Erica Schreiner built a sparkling, fantastical melange of sets and backdrops to create a stunningly rich world populated with wonderfully strange characters. The soft, ethereal visuals are underscored by an original score from co-star Johnny Dydo of the garage-tropicalia band The Johns.
