Lynn Shelton’s first feature film is finally being made available to audiences at home. We celebrate the theatrical and digital release with a rare 35mm screening of We Go Way Back, with Lynn Shelton and Fandor’s Chief of Content Jonathan Marlow in attendance. We Go Way Back is the story of 23-year-old actress named Kate, who reflects on the youthful dreams of her 13-year-old self when dealing with the dissatisfaction of her adult reality. Kate is a lonely jack-of-all-trades in a local Seattle theater group, searching for a firmer sense of identity. Newly single yet again, Kate wanders through unfulfilling flings, forcing her to face the need to define herself outside of a relationship. Shelton was inspired by a creative crossroads from her own twenty-something era, and decided to make a film about two different selves confronting each other.

We Go Way Back first premiered at Slamdance in 2006 and is only now being properly released theatrically and online. We’re teaming up with its online home, Fandor, to launch a new series: VOD IRL, where we bring VOD titles to the big screen.
