In See You Then, director and writer Mari Walker gives us My Dinner With Andre energy with a story of two friends who meet up for dinner and engage in a series of intimate conversations that tend to reveal a lot about themselves as women — before one huge shocking revelation is revealed. See You Then is set to make its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival on March 16 but Deadline has a sneak peek of the friendship drama.

In the first clip we see the aforementioned Kris (Pooya Mohseni) and Naomi (Lynn Chen) chopping it up at dinner. Kris talks about her recent transition and shares the obstacles of her journey and what she has learned — and Naomi learns a couple of things as well.

See You Then is a personal story for Walker as she draws from her experiences while transitioning. The film brings to light the trans experiences and although living one’s truth is freeing, there are heartbreaking emotions and situations one has to confront and live through.

See You Then https://bit.ly/3Q7S9hd See You Then pulls a neat “did not see that coming” switcheroo early on, though a glance at any of the blurbs about the film will reveal what it is. It doesn’t matter much – it comes scant minutes in, so won’t ruin the fun. Two women meet up. They were evidently once lovers. Both seem nervous. It’s been a long time, at least ten years, since they saw each other. Kris (Pooya Mohseni) seems keen, nervous, Naomi (Lynn Chen) less sure, wary. Having got the “look at you”, “it’s been so long” niceties out of the way, the two of them head for a friendly restaurant, where Kris reveals that her changed … Read more
