Cold Feet

A great guy, Phil, is pressuring Lisa, a 54-year old artist/art director/performer into finally getting married for the first time. All her friends know it's the best thing that's ever happened to her. However, her own self-image as an independent creative person is getting in the way of moving her life forward. She struggles with it in her funny self-deprecating way throughout the wedding planning right up until the vows. Filmmaker Spencer Schilly captures her emotional conflicts every step of the way, from the doctor visits through wedding gown shopping expeditions with her best friend, Margot. Spencer includes intimate interviews with many of her friends and family. This film captures the disillusionment and confusion many women feel about the role of marriage in their lives and how it will impact their self esteem for better or worse. (Bushwick Film Festival)
