Skyline High School Class of 1989: In Memoriam
4 months ago
This is a video tribute to the eight members Skyline High School Class of 1989 who have passed away since graduation.
This was a difficult tightrope to walk, as I encountered the need to satisfy the innate human desire to understand how one's peer came to die at a young age, with the need to be respectful of their loved ones' wishes, with the larger need to keep the reunion from resembling a funeral.
And as if that weren't enough, I also attempted to subtly address the matter of suicide (the cause of death of three of the eight members of my class) by making it clear that this is an act that pains survivors in ways those contemplating it might not understand.
In the end, I feel this production managed to strike an effective balance, and it was very well received.
