Director Statement

"SATURDAYNESS directly and overtly references its sources and those stories to which it owes its greatest debts. It is a love letter to 1980s Satuday morning cartoons, to Robert Louis Stevenson and to all those pulp and golden age of movies pirate stories.
I hope everyone who watches SATURDAYNESS as the stories unfold really enjoys the experience. If not, well, thank you for watching our efforts for as long as you did!"
