Special
He's not your ordinary superhero.
Directed by Hal Haberman, Jeremy Passmore
Produced by Rival Pictures
A melancholic, introspective portrait of delusion and ordinariness that uses superhero fantasy to explore loneliness, mental illness, and the human need to matter.
A lonely metermaid has a psychotic reaction to his medication and becomes convinced he's a superhero. A very select group of people in life are truly gifted. Special is a movie about everyone else.
