In director/writer Lynn Shelton's first feature film, We Go Way Back, 23-year-old Kate 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 makes an appearance, leading to a moving confrontation. Host Andrew Tsao, from UW Drama, interviews Lynn about her vision for this film.
