HAPPY
NEW YEAR is a bold, new feature film about a group of brave veterans
who find friendship while fighting to redefine their lives as they
struggle to overcome PTS/PTSD.
The film, which amazed audiences
and critics at the South by Southwest and Hamptons Int'l Film
Festivals, tells the story of a war-torn Marine, Staff Sgt. Cole Lewis,
who returns home scarred with mental and physical wounds from
combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lewis begins to find humanity,
compassion and friendship among a group of similarly injured soldiers in
the psychiatric ward at a remote veterans hospital-- survivors of World
War II, Vietnam, and recent conflicts in the Middle East. As the men
become Lewis' new family, Lewis becomes a ray of hope in the ward and
together the men begin to heal. But just as their luck starts to change,
Lewis faces his fiercest battle yet.
A searing portrait of the
human costs of war by breakout writer-director K. Lorrel Manning and
starring Michael Cuomo as Lewis, Happy New Year began as a sold-out
Off-Broadway play and short film, inspired by more than 80 hours of
personal interviews and countless hours of research the filmmakers
completed with veterans, their families, and V.A. caregivers.
The film begins its regular engagement in New York at the Quad Cinemas on Friday, December 7, 2012.
