Directed By Lynn Chen

Three women wrestle with life's difficulties while confronting their past relationships with the same man.

ABOUT
BIO

Rachel (Lynn Chen) lives in idle luxury with a cheating husband, Professor Erika (Ayako Fujitani) juggles career demands while raising her daughter Sachiko (newcomer Ayami Riley Tomine), and struggling musician Yea-Ming (Yea-Ming Chen) is still chasing a fast-fading dream. Three women who could not be more different have one thing in common: their flawed romantic history with singer-songwriter Goh Nakamura (himself). When the amiable but unreliable Goh ambles back into town and into their lives, the past comes roaring back. This semi-sequel to Surrogate Valentine (SXSW 2011) and Daylight Savings (SXSW 2012) revisits the characters in a stand-alone story with a fresh new perspective.

Lynn Chen's filmmaking debut, "I Will Make You Mine," showcased her talent as a writer, producer, director, and lead actor. Premiering at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, the movie has streamed on Paramount Plus/Peacock, while earning a spot on Rotten Tomatoes' "Best Asian American Movies of All Time" list with a perfect rating. Known for her her breakout performance in "Saving Face," she has had recent recurring roles on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Shameless." Other performance highlights include winning "Best Actress" at the 2016 NBC Shorts Festival and a talent holding deal with the network. Beyond acting, she founded platforms like "Gen X Taste" and "The Yellow Pages," recognized as a Substack Featured Publication. Chen's commitment to inclusivity extends to her previous roles on the Film Fatales Advisory Circle and the Board of Miry’s List. As a 2024/2025 Rideback Rise Circle member, she continues to champion diverse voices.
