A SPECIAL DAY

Many years ago I saw this film and was really taken with it. Watched it this weekend and wow, it really stands up. Amazing, subtle film. For all you indie filmmakers out there, and wanna be first time feature filmmakers, watch this film. It has all the ingredients needed for an indie production - one major location, two main characters
