Second chances come
in many disguises…

Reunion is the story of lost hope centered on a man, Guy Park, no longer young, who has sacrificed for his family only to discover that his life has passed him by. In a desperate attempt to regain the momentum and any dreams he once may have had, he goes to his 20th high school reunion to reconnect with what remains of his past, and to see if he has a future.

Thematically the film is about hope and being true to oneself in the face of impossible odds, and the search for identity and purpose. Who are we in difficult times - what people define us as, or what we deeply believe in ourselves? Is it more important to be seen as a success in other people’s eyes, or in one’s own? What do we want out of our “one wild and precious life?” and what are we willing to sacrifice to achieve it?

Reunion takes place in an undefined present of desperate striving and dishonesty, where people represent themselves as what they have been told they should be, rather than who they really are. Caught up in this is our protagonist, trapped in a deception that he perversely, and dangerously, begins to enjoy.

Ultimately the story asks the audience to put themselves in Guy Park’s place, offering the world for one small white lie. For one night, surrounded by Prom Queens, Class Presidents, Football Heroes and True Believers, who among us would accept being the center of the world for one night - would it be worth it for the good we could do for others, and ourselves?

Reunion is a story of inadvertent deception, circumstance, and hope, filled with romance, comic misunderstanding and dreams, about the road less traveled and what could be for all of us and the choices we have to make - until the clock strikes midnight.
