Brief Reunion (US, 2011; 88 min.)
Director: John Daschbach

Be careful who plays in your virtual sandbox - even if they're old friends.

Aaron Clark has forged a comfortable life in New England, close to his Ivy League roots. He has it all: financial security, a beautiful wife, and a close-knit circle of old friends. But this collegiate bond is shattered by the sudden and unnerving arrival of Teddy, a former classmate and the proverbial snake. Teddy worms back into their lives, "befriending" Aaron's innocent wife and assistant.

He hijacks a 40th birthday surprise and then systematically stalks Aaron — at home, at work, and in cyberspace. Bitter over Aaron's success, Teddy also pries into his business affairs, hinting at improprieties through a lethal combination of extortion and revenge. Relentlessly, he pushes toward destruction by unearthing and dissecting the past. Pursued by these demons, Aaron snaps. Is he the man he appears to be? Or is it true that "Nobody really knows anybody, least of all themselves?" This deep, dark question lies at the heart of human nature, and in Brief Reunion, finds some disturbing and even fatal answers.
