Lynn Chen makes her feature directing debut with 'I Will Make You Mine,' reuniting with Goh Nakamura and the casts of 'Surrogate Valentine' and 'Daylight Savings.'
In “Surrogate Valentine” and “Daylight Savings,” a pair of enjoyably wooly studies in slackerdom directed by Dave Boyle that debuted at the 2011 and 2012 SXSW film festivals, respectively, Goh Nakamura played a fictionalized sketch of himself, an itinerant musician with a modest fan base and a web of unresolved relationships.
With “I Will Make You Mine,” Lynn Chen, who played Rachel in the first two films, makes her feature directing debut, taking the characters from “Surrogate” and “Daylight” on a third tour of the galaxy of Goh. More evolution than sequel, Chen maintains the laidback, low-fi charm and black-and-white aesthetic infused with Nakamura’s dreamy, pensive music but also grows the characters, infusing them with more narrative purpose.
Gathering the principals in Los Angeles, Chen’s script forefronts three female characters: Rachel, Erika and Yea-Ming . The women were all involved with Goh in different ways and “I Will Make You Mine” functions as a form of reckoning for these relationships. Erika, an academic who dated Goh , returns to arrange her father’s funeral after five years in Madison, Wis. Rachel, Goh’s high school BFF, ponders “what ifs” as she recovers from her husband’s infidelity. Yea-Ming, a Vegas hookup for Goh , struggles with her songwriting and welcomes him back into her life as a mentor/collaborator.Rather than diminishing Goh’s character, this shift in perspective deepens him.
Nakamura’s character doesn’t speak much, grappling with his music expressing more than he ever can with mere words. Here, a little older and wiser and seen through the eyes of the women, Goh’s earlier inertia begins to manifest as steadfastness, retroactively adding some substance to what went before.
