What happens
Road to Saddle River is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Francis Damberger and released in 1994. The film stars Paul Jarrett as "The Cowboy Kid", an Eastern European immigrant to Canada who settles in Alberta and undertakes a road trip in search of Saddle River, his idealized vision of the perfect place to establish his desired cowboy lifestyle. His travelling companions are Sam (Paul Coeur), an unhappy salesman afflicted with ringworm; Dieter (Eric Allan Kramer), a German tourist; and Norman Manyheads (Sam Bob), a young First Nations man who idolizes Elvis Presley. The cast includes Michael Hogan, Ben Cardinal, Bryan Fustukian and Tina Lameman. The film was originally shot in 1992, immediately after Damberger's prior film Solitaire, but Damberger was unable to secure distribution until 1994. It had at least one film festival screening before premiering commercially on September 23, 1994 in Edmonton. The film received a 20th anniversary screening in 2013 as part of Alberta Culture Days.
