About The Reunion

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

The Reunion stars Dave Rosenberg, Andrea Modica, Dinh James Doan and Cara Ronzetti, with special appearances by Drama Desk Award-winning actor Austin Pendleton and Actor/Comedian Jim Norton.

The Reunion is based on the real-life traumatic childhood experience of Dave Rosenberg, the film’s writer and producer who also stars as the protagonist, Ricky Reilly. Ricky, a former actor who is seeking spiritual fulfilment, suddenly has his life turned upside down when he sees Travis, a childhood bully who had beaten him up over a girl years ago. Seeing his old nemesis reawakens memories and emotions that compel Ricky to finally face his greatest fear in order to discover a new definition of manhood.

Film Daily says, "the film carries a poignant balance of self-deprecation within self-realization."

Film Threat calls The Reunion "a gorgeous film to look at from start to finish" with "great attention given to every shot...awe-inspiring cinematography" and "great storytelling."
