Funny and moving, Shoot To Marry is an indie doc that delivers.
Filmmaker Steve Markle trains his camera on unique and interesting women with hopes of finding enlightenment and maybe even love. In New York, Steve films with Heidi, a brilliant hat-maker. In Toronto where Steve lives, he films with a dominatrix, a rabbi, a massage therapist turned pilot and other fascinating women.
Steve longs for the relationship he sees in his parents. They met on a blind date fifty years ago and have been blissfuly married ever since. Steve's attempts to find love with online dating and a personal matchmaker lead to dead ends. The best way to meet interesting women, Steve decides, is to make a documentary about them.
Shoot To Marry debuted at the 2020 Slamdance Film Festival where it created buzz and won a major award. It's no surprise that Markle won over audiences in Park City. He has a unique voice and with Shoot To Marry he delivers an indie doc that is raw, deeply personal and highly entertaining.
