Saturnscape Pictures is a company, by filmmakers, for filmmakers
LAUNCHING SATURNSCAPE
Founded in 2020 by filmmaker Stephen van Vuuren, Saturnscape is the culmination of his 20 years of work with his production company SV2 Studios and his labor of love "In Saturn's Rings", a long-form giant screen/fulldome documentary, 15+ years in the making, narrated by LeVar Burton.
Saturnscape Pictures is "by filmmakers, for filmmakers and film lovers". We are ultra-lean and put all we have in the frame. We believe that sci-fi is the noblest genre and "B-Movie" often outlives a "A-Movie" over time.
From "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "Solaris" to "Aliens" to "Under the Skin", sci-fi is our inspiration, motivation and way of life.
If you want to be part of a film that creates big studio quality on a shoestring, that prizes the joy of creativity, the satisfaction of "less is more" and celebrates follow your passion, contact us. We are always looking for like-minded actors, crew, writers, producers, filmmakers.
“Unlike all the other art forms, film is able to seize and render the passage of time, to stop it, almost to possess it in infinity. I’d say that film is the sculpting of time.”
– Andrei Tarkovsky
