Saltwater (2012): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2012, Saltwater is a drama and romance film directed by Charlie Vaughn, running about 81 minutes. “The cure for anything is saltwater, tears, sweat or the sea.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. This American Indie drama follows several endearing characters as they wade through life seeking happiness, peace and ultimately, love. Will (Ronnie Kerr, Vampire Boys 2, Shut Up and Kiss Me) leaves the Navy after many years, soon reunites old friends and begins to start his new civilian life. His friend Rich (Bruce L Hart) tries to set him up with ruggedly handsome Josh (Ian Roberts-a former Australian professional rugby player, actor and model-Cedar Boys, Superman Returns, Little Fish). While there is immense chemistry between the two, timing and certain ideals never seem to align. When a shocking tragedy happens the two are paired up to pick up the pieces and sort through the after effects. Saltwater is a story about men of all ages, finding love, losing friends, navigating their way through life and knowing it's the journey rather then the destination that's important.

Who’s in it. Saltwater stars Ronnie Kerr as Will Baston, Ian Roberts as Josh, Bernadette Pérez as Christine and Bruce L. Hart as Rich, among others.
