about:
I'm seducible
In the mid-1980s thousands of Chinese came to study in the United States . . .
San Francisco is aglow with chance for a young artist from China, and Shi-Wei recasts her life in the new openness she finds in the West. She surrenders herself to sensual curiosity with a Caucasian, an acquaintance. But what about her longing for her boyfriend in China, who impulsively decides to join her in America "to be with you, to struggle next to you side-by-side"? As she embraces one intimate tie and resumes another, Shi-Wei is entwined in the clutter of love and need.

In the midst of things that might be love
The view of Xiao-Yen Wang, writer/director:
I don't want to tell a story in sequence with I'm seducible. I want it to break loose, going everywhere like lost beads. I'm seducible is a story of self-seduction, a woman's haunted search for herself in others — life moving one way, mind floating another. Everyone has a seed suspended inside, a remnant of a time that springs one in a certain direction. Shi-Wei is tethered to distant emotions, always dreaming of past moments in China. . . . Passivity and acquiescence implode as Shi-Wei pulls toward a grain anchored within: the nourishment of memories and dreams.
. . . . .
I'm seducible is 76-minutes long. It was filmed in Beijing and San Francisco in 35mm and mixed in Dolby Digital.
