We Go Way Back

DESCRIPTION
On her 23rd birthday, Kate (Amber Hubert) opens a letter that she wrote as a precocious adolescent to her imaginary grown-up self. The letter asks, "Are you happy?" Obviously not. Kate moves in a dreamlike state, passive and indifferent as Jiffy muffins burn and various men take advantage of her. Throughout, we hear 13-year-old Kate's voice echo in adult Kate's thoughts. Eventually, the young Kate character (Maggie Brown) makes an appearance, leading to a moving confrontation.

BLURBS:
"Very funny...beautifully shot with a terrific soundtrack...WE GO WAY BACK has the feel of an early-70's American independent, willing to challenge the audience to follow it into a very personal, uncommercial direction."--Robert Horton, Everett Herald

"Beautifully funny and poignant."--Molly Lori, Seattle Weekly

"With quiet confidence, filmmaker Lynn Shelton establishes and overcomes her central conceit--in which Kate's teenage self visits her in the flesh--to tell a funny, touching story about self-effacement, trust and really bad theater."--Annie Wagner, The Stranger

"Consistently sharp and funny. Amber Hubert and Maggie Brown do a lovely job."--John Hartl, The Seattle Times

"A funny, touching, thoroughly original and strikingly captured vision that stays with you long after the credits have rolled."--Brangien Davis, The Seattle Times
