Katie Says Goodbye is the heart-wrenching story of an optimistic and kindhearted young woman named Katie whose life takes a dramatic turn when a new romance blossoms. The film won the Discovery Award for Best Film at the Toronto International Film Festival and Olivia Cooke won the Best Actress award at the Manchester International Film Festival. Living in a struggling desert town in Arizona composed of little more than a trailer park and a small diner, Katie (Olivia Cooke: Me, Earl and The Dying Girl, Ready Player One) dreams of a new life in San Francisco. In order to best save the necessary funds to leave her desolate town and start anew, Katie prostitutes herself to a handful of regulars that frequent the diner she waitresses at. As Katie draws near to saving the funds she believes her new life requires, she encounters a young ex-convict named Bruno (Christopher Abbott: Girls, It Comes at Night). Katie quickly falls in love, much to the dismay of Bruno’s coworkers at the local auto body shop. As a relationship with Bruno begins to form, the delicate harmony of their small town slowly begins to fall into disarray.
