Episode 621: In The Seats With...Laura Adkin and 'Re:Uniting'

In The Seats with...

There's something about real and relatable human stories that is just hard to look away from...
On this episode we gather with friends to see how life can really force us all to take a second look at our lives. It's time for 'Re:Uniting' which is in theatres now.
Starring Jesse L Martin (Law & Order, The Irrational), Michelle Harrison (The Flash), Roger Cross (War For the Planet of the Apes), David James Lewis (Child’s Play), Carmen Moore (Nancy Drew) and Bronwen Smith (Firefly Lane) as six best friends from college who reconnect for their 25 year reunion.
When Rachel, played by Michelle Harrison, receives life-changing news, she secretly grapples with her mortality while playing host to her friends who have grown up and gone their separate ways since college. Carrie, a mother of 3, Natalie, a workaholic neurosurgeon, former football star turned sportscaster Collin, and playboy man-child Danny join Rachel and her husband at their picturesque home on the beautiful and secluded Bowen Island. As soon as they are all together it’s like no time has passed; they laugh, drink and dance the night away. Rachel’s nostalgia is echoed by the group as they realize how much time has gone by, and how much they have all changed. As secrets are revealed, they are forced to change the way they look at their futures.
With echoes of films like 'The Big Chill' there's something about 'Re:Uniting' that just feels so genuine that you won't want to look away from this fantastic ensemble piece.
In advance of the film's release we had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Laura Adkin to talk about the origins of the story and so very much more....
