Minnesota Film Premiere

A new film, "The Way We Are", is set to premiere at the Twin Cities Film Festival on October 18. The film features scenes shot in Alexandria and was filmed in Minnesota.

The movie's plot revolves around Susan, a character haunted by her veteran father's suicide, which she witnessed as a child. The film's synopsis states:

Haunted by her veteran father's suicide — an event she witnessed as a child but no one will discuss — Susan creates a powerful escape. While the Vietnam War rages in her 1970s present, much like Dorothy or Alice in those fantastical stories of Oz and Wonderland, she transports her entire family into a lush, imagined 1940s, seeking answers in a past war.

The film explores the blurring of timelines as Susan clings to her fantasy, seeking the truth and courage to heal.
