PRODUCT INFORMATION
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.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
