Representing the directorial debut of Mari Walker, the SXSW Online drama See You Then finds former college sweethearts Kris (Pooya Mohseni) and Naomi (Lynn Chen) meeting for the first time 10 years after their relationship came to an abrupt end. Hard truths come out during their evening-long conversation about Kris' decision to walk out on Naomi to transition to a woman and Naomi choosing to give her ambitions as a performance artist for a steady paycheck. Mari Walker informs her script with her own experiences as a transgender woman. Iranian-American actress Pooya Mohseni, also a transgender woman, appeared in the TV series Gross Misconduct, Rival Peak, and Rival Speak. Taiwanese-American actress Lynn Chen starred in Saving Face, Rice On White, and Go Back to China. See You Then premieres 10 a.m. central March 16 during SXSW Online, which runs through March 20.
