Saturn is a character-based science Fiction film about a family in a picturesque seaside town whose lives are upended when a strange planet appears in the sky on a collision course for Earth.
The planet’s appearance brings back a life that James thought he had left years ago when he settled down with his wife and young son. But, with the outside world in chaos and his perfect family slowly falling apart, James must decide between running from his destiny or sacrificing everything he loves.
We slowly learn that James is more than meets the eye. He has a secret he’s never shared with anyone… a secret that is humanity’s only hope.
Taking inspiration from classic and modern sci-fi, Saturn asks a simple question: how far would you go to save those you love?
Saturn is complete and in festival submission.
We lucked out with the cast of Saturn. Some of the most talented actors we’ve worked with, fresh off performances in Just Mercy, Game of Thrones, The Safe House, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order—each character brought to life powerfully and vividly. These are characters we want to see more of.

Unique for an independent film, Saturn’s locations are diverse and expansive. The film goes from a borderline-Rockwellian town to the seemingly unending expanse of a winter’s beach, from high on the cliffs of a desert to the inside of a nuclear reactor tower. Oh, and there’s a cave underneath a 100 year old “tree of life.”

With exciting action set pieces, compelling performances, and far-off locations, Saturn is more than meets the eye. But what connects most us are the characters, and Saturn’s are a reflection of ourselves. This, combined with a sci-fi feel that is instantly recognizable but feels fresh and new, means that Saturn will appeal to die-hard fans of the genre and new viewers alike.
time travel science fiction - arrival
In Saturn, time travel is used as a device to portray emotion. Explaining mind-bending questions in very “everyman” terms that the audience can understand. Asking and answering these questions creates incredible reveals and twists that impress viewers.
Non-linear storytelling - interstellar
Saturn takes time to help audiences understand the world it has created. And by jumping back-and-forth in time, we create pictures of each character that allow for additional stories in the series.
family drama - this is us
Saturn doesn’t shy away from difficult questions about relationships, addiction, and responsibility. Layered characters that the audience can identify with tell the story in a lasting, impactful way.
