Always a Bridesmaid

A profile of wedding photographer Nina Davenport, who talks about her own feelings about getting married. She discusses an overwhelming fear that she will never find the right mate and take the walk down the aisle., Recalling the ground-breaking first-person documentaries of Ross McElwee, this movie focuses on filmmaker Nina Davenport’s deeply conflicted feeling towards weddings. On one hand, she feels a strong sense that she is meant for spinsterhood; on the other, she has a burning heterosexual lust for guys. To make matters worse, she works as a wedding videographer, which only reminds her of this internal conflict. This film was screened at the 2000 L.A. Independent Film Festival.
