Introduction - Filmmaker
Hi everyone, my name is Saturnin. I am an award winning filmmaker from Vancouver, Canada. Previous body of work includes the Throttle Trauma film trilogy, a series of documentaries about the sport bike stunt culture. The 3 films combined were shot in 7 countries and 21 cities over 2 continents. It was a most excellent time creating the series and lifelong friendships.

New Project - Free speech
My latest project American Troll, is a documentary about the current state of comedy and freedom of speech in Canada.

This project started with an idea in 2018, here we are in the final stretch of production/post production and scheduled for release in first quarter of 2024(fingers crossed)

As most know, projects that deal with free speech and free anything face challenging obstacles. On top of that, production had to halt for 2 years due to the pandemic. Quitting was not an option, my parents didn't raise a quitter.

I managed to champion through a lot of closed doors over the past few years working on this film and am very proud of what has been achieved. My focus as a filmmaker is to preserve a time in history with the stories that I undertake. The stories in this film, will live forever and share some insight into a time in our past. Ideally to prevent these cultural scenarios from happening in the future, wishful thinking...

I am looking forward to sharing this documentary once it is ready to come out of the post production oven.

While making this film, I have met so many amazing people from all over Canada and USA. The crew that helped (you all know who you are) was amazing, I would not have been able to do this without them.

Big thank you!

A quick film synopsis:
Film centers around a few different Canadian stories that deal with freedom of speech, expensive legal battles, outrage over hair, hecklers at comedy shows and the Canadian human rights commission. I don't want to spoil anything from the project about the stories, so you will have to wait until it is released.

Cast
I have really amazing interviews in this documentary here are the main players:

Mike Ward, Jeremy Gabriel, Julius Grey, Aries Spears, Janice Fiamengo, Christina Hoff Sommers, David Lucas, Zach Poitras, Gad Saad, Guy Earle and the one and only 27x Mundial Champ Renato Laranja.

Your help & Supporch
Since the topic of "free speech" in Canada is apparently so polarizing, I have solo funded this film up to this point. I am reaching out for help in order to get this documentary past the finish line.(and make good on all the funds I borrowed from family and credit card companies)

With your help, this project might have a chance to get in front of many eyes.

Everyone who helps support this project will receive a very special thank you credit in the film, unless you beg for anonymity. When and if the film comes to your Canadian city, you will be the first to get an invite to the screening. I am hoping to do a Canadian city tour in 2024.

A % raised from this campaign will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society cancer.ca/en/

Associate Producer credit - Limited opportunity
If anyone is seriously interested in a vanity associate producer credit, please inquire directly. Limited spots available.
