About Regis Tremblay
Regis is an American from Maine who has been living in Russia for nearly four years. He is a veteran filmmaker who has led a life of adventure and worn many different hats.
He spent 30 years in a religious order and 14 years as a Catholic priest. He taught high school journalism in Tucson which, he says, planted some seeds in his life and led to raising a family in Arizona, running a successful consulting company, and later, starting a nonprofit. After that, he was a radio show host in Portland, Maine!
Regis has traveled around the world to make documentaries like “The Ghosts of Jeju,” which he filmed in South Korea in 2012. Jeju is an eye-opening documentary about an an island where the United States opened a naval base, causing great harm to the local ecosystem and indigenous people of Jeju, whose protests fell upon deaf ears.
After filming Jeju, Regis traveled to Russia to finish producing “Thirty Seconds to Midnight,” a film about the growing threat of a nuclear confrontation between the United States and Russia.
These experiences were life-changing for Regis, who in 2020 moved to Yalta, Crimea, to begin a new life.
You can watch his files “Thirty Seconds to Midnight,” “Who Are These Russians and Why Do We Hate Them,” and “Je Suis Russia.”
Regis is also a founder of “Friends of Crimea Club USA,” part of the international organization “Friends of Crimea.”

Greetings from an old 'New Jersey Guy', who left the States in the late 1970's to work in Saudi Arabia.
I've been living in Sweden/Scandinavia since 1981.
I'm a 'non-person' on the the interment-net. Why? Well, about 50 yrs ago I was introduced to APL 360/Cobal/Fortran with IBM-punch cards on servers directly linked to Princeton & Rutgers Universities.
Yeah. Old arpnet.
Long-story-short, I did the Elia Kazan-The Arrangement and understood in the late 70's working adjacent to the Rub al-Kahli in the middle of the desert after reading James Mitchner's The Drifters that, well, my Fate lied elsewhere.
So.
Looking Forward to your Regis T...discussion.
And Nope. No 'April Fools'...let's call-it antics are to be expected :)
Of Course however, any initial *jokes* should be given. It's tradition, ya'know. ;)
Best Regards & Good Cheer, Chris

Last point. Why I wanna hear Regis T's...'story'?
Well, Kevin, Your story about...'marrying the whole Family' truly got my *Notice* Why?
Well, Well.
I'm a student of History. What I do know is, the 'idea of love & marriage' was first 'produced' thru novels written in the post-1750's. Mostly in France.
The *Traditional Marriage*-Concept was as far as I know, a consequence of the so-called marriage-amongst-royal bloodlines. i.e. San-Gria/Sangria.
The bourgeoisie was heavily promoted this idea of *Holy Marriage* thru out the 1700's-forward.
The...let's call'em *plebs*, were similarly 'indoctrinated to believe the fallacy of *romantic love*
Once again, the *Utilitarian Principle* trickled down to the masses.
So.
Wanna know more about U-guy's way of seein' things....
