Premiering 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at MADCAP Theaters, 730 S.

Roman’s Bride was shot entirely in Iowa, and also stars another former Tucson resident, Kristine Medrud, as Lily’s mother.
Here’s a plot synopsis from the film’s press release:
When Lily discovers that her neighbor and childhood crush, Roman, has recently become single and unemployed, she fixates on gaining his attention. But the closer Lily gets, the more she becomes haunted by threats from her past that push her to the edge. When Roman’s old girlfriend returns, with plans for a wedding, Lily’s world become everyone’s hell.
