"A Fascinating Mixture between Heart and Science"

When Chill began in December of 2011, I had no idea how it was going to turn out.  As a mater of fact, there were several times I wasn't even sure it would become a completed film.  It took a much longer than I expected, but with continued encouragement from friends and family and what I swear was a divine introduction, we finished it.  When I saw this review on IMDb,  it made me feel super-proud of what we accomplished together.

"CHILL presents us with a fascinating mixture of heart and science. Of how technology revolutionizes the concept of motherhood and family.

Jennifer Frappier is an actor, softball player and festival producer living in the height of her active professional life, however, thoughts of family have made her take the decision to extend her fertility by freezing her eggs. Jennifer takes us through her journey, first by getting to know her and her family background as well as her hopes of having the same chances of having the experience of having a family of her own and then through a more medical and technical approach where we see the science behind egg-freezing in full display. Frappier crafts a documentary that is a mixture of heart and science or more like science in the service of the heart.

Quick Review

Here’s a quick run-down of how the beginning of the egg freezing process works. The first day of my period I contact the clinic and make an appointment for the third day of my period (tomorrow). My appointment is set for 7:50 am. For those of you who are not aware, I’m so not a morning person, but I can totally make an exception for this. Anyway, when I'm at the clinic I will get blood drawn and an ultrasound. The ultrasound will show how many follicles I have on each ovary, which allows the doctor to guestimate how many eggs may be able to be retrieved. The blood work will show my hormone levels.
