  Reunion (2008)
  Film (Documentary) Editor Centennial tribute to Marin County's famed Tamalpais High School. Comprising interviews with current and former students and faculty with arresting archival footage, a swift stream of reminiscences and reflections recalls the teachers, mentors, classmates, social life and special chemistry that shaped lives through the defining decades of the twentieth century and beyond. Throughout, Tam High absorbs and reacts to larger changes around it, from the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge to the mobilization for World War II, to JFK's assassination, rising racial tensions, the emergence of the counterculture and today's high-stakes emphasis on academic success. Graduates filmmaker Rob Nilsson, rock musician Bill Champlin, pianist George Duke and mountain bike inventor Joe Breeze all champion the school's influence on their subsequent careers, while the future for this generation of students is yet to unfold.
