Flat Head Films recently announced that writer/director Laura Adkin’s feature film debut Re: Uniting will have its U.S. theatrical premiere starting Friday, May 31st, 2024. Re: Uniting will screen for audiences across the U.S. at LOOK Dine-In Cinemas in New York, Los Angeles, several locations in California, Arizona, Texas, and more. Adkin and the select cast will be in LA and New York for special event Q&A’s after the screenings in LA (on May 31st) and New York (June 1st).
Filmed on Bowen Island in B.C., Re: Uniting stars Jesse L Martin (Law & Order, The Irrational, RENT), 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.
