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, Jeffery. But what about her longing for Da-Hai, 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 seem like love . . .
In the midst of things that might be love
The view of writer-director Xiao-Yen Wang:
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 want to portray moods and emotions. I'm seducible is the visual-memoir of a woman's self-seduction, her haunted search for herself in others — life moving one way, mind floating another. I believe everyone has a seed suspended inside, a remnant of a time or strength that springs one in a certain direction. Shi-Wei is tethered to distant emotions, always dreaming of past moments in China. But inaction implodes 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.
