Synopsis: An Official Selection of SXSW 2020, I Will Make You Mine is a semi-sequel to Surrogate Valentine (SXSW 2011) and Daylight Savings (SXSW 2012) that revisits the characters in a stand-alone story, with a fresh new perspective. 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.
