This is HOT
Saltwater – This American Indie drama follows several endearing characters as they wade through life seeking happiness, peace and ultimately love. Will (Ronnie Kerr) leaves the Navy after many years and soon reunites with old friends as he attempts to start his new civilian life. His friend Rich tries to set him up with the ruggedly handsome Josh (Ian Roberts). While there is immense chemistry between the two, timing and certain ideals never seem to align. When a shocking tragedy happens the two are forced up to pick up the pieces together. 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 than the destination that’s important. This film also stars Berna Roberts, Bruce L. Hart, and Will Berthencourt and is directed by Charlie Vaughn. This film is 81 minutes long and is available at WolfeVideo.com on sale for $19.95.
