FINALIST (Your Big Break filmmaking competition) OFFICIAL BEST OF FEST Award (OFFICIAL BEST OF FEST) BEST SHORT FILM (Rainier Independent Film Festival) SPECIAL JURY AWARD (Lady Filmmakers Film Festival) ACCOLADE Award (Accolade Competition) "[SOMETHING SPECIAL] showcased the landscape in the most dramatic and spectacular way. It 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) "an affecting drama" - Empire Magazine "much more moving than it has any right to be" - Jay A.
