So, this seemed interesting

I know this has nothing to do with Jason Saxon, but this article I found somewhere else from like late 2009 gives an insight to the mind of Dean Williams. Maybe he and the rest of the Vegreville Six are as dangerous as Mister Saxon has claimed they are:

"WRITER DEALS WITH PRESSURES OF SUDDEN FAME AND LIFE IN LIMELIGHT; TRIES TO AVOID 'SOPHOMORE JINX'

2009 has been a tumultuous year for new screenwriter Dean Williams.

Between becoming a first time father with wife Karen, a surprising box office hit with Doomtown: Surviving the End of the World, and rumors of co-writing a biopic on 1960s British pyschedelic rock legend Syd Barrett, Dean has done his best to cope with the whirlwind success that seems to have fallen into his lap.

But has fame began to stress out the fresh new face in Hollywood? After getting into an altercation with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton over false rumors that Dean and Doomtown co-star Selma Blair were involved in an on-set romantic fling - a rumor all parties have vehemetly denied - Mister Williams also got into war of words with another tinsel-town gossip site (TMZ.com) and was given a court order to take anger management courses. And at this year's San Diego Comic Convention, Dean's public appearance seemed kind of aloof to observers, although from a press statement released by Amy Benz (Dean Williams' publicist/assistant) stated that 'Mister Williams recently found out his friend passed away in combat duty', which was proven true when his former co-worker Ryan Jeffries was killed in combat overseas in the middle east. Not helping matters was when an interent prankster posed as Dean Williams on a message board dedicated to his film and called fans "f--king loser!" who "need to get out and get laid!"

According to sources close to Williams, dealing with the events in Doomtown - which was based on the 2007 nuclear strikes on his home country of Canada - along with Jeffries' recent death and other Hollywood minitue has gotten to him. "Guy hasn't been the same since everything blew up in front of him" said one source, who wishes to remain anonymous. The same source has also admitted that Dean has been seeing a psychiatrist to deal with a lot of these extreniuating circumstances."
