Saltwater is a 2012 film directed by Charlie Vaughn. It was written and produced by Ronnie Kerr, who also acted in the film. It was funded by Kickstarter. The executive producer was Michael Shoel and line producer was Creep Creepersin.

Saltwater premiered on July 14, 2012, at the 18th Annual Philadelphia QFest. Qfest is the east coast's largest LGBT film festival and the third largest of its kind in the nation. Saltwater played to a sold-out crowd in the Ritz Bourse theater. It also played to a near, sold-out crowd the next day at the Ritz East.In 2005, an ex-Marine, who had many friends, including Ronnie, and a boyfriend, committed suicide to the surprise of many, but left no suicide note or explanation. This real-life tragedy inspired Saltwater. Filming took place in various locations in North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks and San Diego.Former rugby league player, now actor, Ian Roberts said, "I chose Saltwater as the first film in which I play a gay character because its content is something that’s very personal to me. It spoke to me in a way no other script has."Justin Utley, who has been a friend of Ronnie for many years, was asked to use some of his music in the film, as he had used his music on a previous film. But later Justin flew to LA and over a weekend, acted in the movie.The title, Saltwater, comes from one of the characters who tells a friend, "cure for anything is saltwater, which is (found in) tears, sweat or the sea."It was filmed on a red Scarlet camera.
