A film entitled "The Way We Are" will premiere at the Twin Cities Film Festival on October 18.
The film was shot in Minnesota, with some scenes set in Alexandria. One of the actors works on a farm near Brandon.
Haunted by her veteran father's suicide — an event she witnessed as a child but no one will discuss — Susan creates a powerful escape.
The story follows Susan as she transports her family into a imagined 1940s, seeking answers in a past war, while the Vietnam War rages in her 1970s present.
The film explores the blurring of timelines as Susan clings to this fantasy, until a final revelation gives her the key to the truth and the courage to heal.
