Ninety-five percent of us marry at least once in our lifetime, and yet roughly fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce. Is marriage an outdated idea? Through interviews with couples and marriage experts, and by chronicling the demise of her own marriage, Schermerhorn poses timely, unexpected questions that can’t be easily answered with “I do.” Why do we marry? Who should be allowed to marry? What makes a marriage work or fall apart? And what viable alternatives to marriage exist, if any?

Rough Cuts thanks its partners Five Vintners and Reelchanges.org for their support of the series.
Rough Cuts is a series of work-in-progress documentary screenings that are produced every other month at the LAB, a non-profit gallery/performance space in the Mission. For each evening, we screen one rough cut of a feature-length documentary and then moderate a conversation about the film. These post-screening discussions are designed to give the filmmaker a better, more objective sense of what is working and not working with his/her film, with particular attention paid to improving the film’s structure and narrative clarity. We hope that the series also provides a welcome space for local filmmakers, film professionals, and fans of documentary film to meet and talk.
