CAUTION: Reality Can Be Painfully Funny

About Me

To say that Special Needs is funny would be the understatement of the year. In fact, I had such a grand time with Isaak James' directorial debut that I watched the damned thing again as soon as my initial viewing came to a close. - T. Rigney, THE FILM FIEND

Is Isaak James the next Trey Parker? - Dianne Garrett, VARIETY
SPECIAL NEEDS TRAILER ON IFC MEDIA LAB!

"Isaak James is smart enough to know that a movie based solely on one handicapped joke after another simply won't fly in this day and age... The material never treats its collection of "special individuals" cruelly, even when it appears that James is openly mocking them." - T. Rigney, THE FILM FIEND

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

Reality TV hits a new low in Isaak James' outrageously offensive mockumentary Special Needs! Flamboyant producer Warren Piece and his bullying production crew are on a quest to produce "Handicaps", a startling new reality show about the physically and mentally disabled.
Crossing every line of political correctness, Warren and his cronies pull together the wildest cast of handicapables ever assembled, including a break dancing Schizophrenic, a wheelchair-bound pop singer, a foul-mouthed midget and a paraplegic gangsta!
But, as the show..s budget skyrockets and the crew's own moral misgivings come into play, Warren soon finds his vision may be in need of some Special care.
An official selection of the Westwood International Film Festival and The Calgary International Fringe Film Festival, Special Needs is a painfully funny media satire that will keep you laughing in spite of yourself!
