More details about the DVD...

No Time for Cold Feet had test screenings in Minneapolis in January 2005, where we showed an early cut of the film. Though "No Time for Cold Feet" had not yet been officially released, critic Peter Scholtes of Minneapolis/St. Paul's City Pages happened to catch the film and ranked it as one of the Best Films of 2005. Check out the press that No Time for Cold Feet has received during the "making of" the film.

 

No Time for Cold Feet is a documentary on the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt. For four years filmmakers Trent Tooley and Jackie Garry followed fanatic medallion hunters in their quest to find the "Holy Grail of Saint Paul" -- the King Boreas Treasure Medallion.



For twelve grueling days hunters, aided by a cryptic daily clue, brave the harsh winter, digging through ice and snow, skipping school or work to dig all day and foregoing sleep to dig all night in search of the elusive medallion's $10,000 reward.

The film was shot during the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 treasure hunts and also contains an Epilogue that gives a post-2004 hunt update.
