Cevin D. Soling is a Massachusetts-based business owner whose Wikipedia article describes him "an American writer, filmmaker, philosopher, musician, music producer, and artist". In a Village Voice article in 2014, Shane Bugbee identified Soling as using the pseudonym "Malcolm Jarry" in his public capacity with The Satanic Temple.[1]
Spectacle Films
Prior to becoming involved in what later became The Satanic Temple, and continuing thereafter, Soling produced a number of independent documentary films under the Spectacle Films banner. Examples included "Urine: Good Health"(1999), described by the Spectacle Films website as a film which "objectively explores the claims of proponents of urine therapy as well as the views of some of the world’s preeminent doctors and researchers regarding the medical uses of urine", [2].
Claims to be a cargo cult Messiah
Soling's 2016 film "Mr Cevin and the Cargo Cult" is summarised on IMDb as "Harvard graduate student, Cevin Soling, sets out to fulfill the tribal prophecy of a mysterious cargo cult - this is the story of what happens when he succeeds."[3]. An article by UK newspaper The Guardian describes an encounter with Soling by journalists investigating cargo cult believers on the island of Vanuatu: "In Tanna, Tonks and I saw platoons of men marching under the midday sun. We also met Cevin Soling, a documentary-maker from Boston who for years had brought strange cargo – salad spinners, fishing tackle for people who don’t fish, medical equipment – to John Frum believers in Sulphur Bay.
“Apparently there was a prophecy I would come,” said Soling, wearing white chinos and a baseball cap. Indeed, in a speech to believers, the chief of Sulphur Bay described him as the “last man” who would reveal the destination of their movement. Soling had tried to turn the whole endeavour into a documentary, and even made necklaces with his own face printed on them."[4].
Opposition to Public Schools
Soling's 2009 film "The War on Kids" details Soling's opposition to the American public schooling system. The Spectacle Films website describes the film as "Focusing on public education, The War on Kids demonstrates how American public schools have become modeled after prisons in response to fear and a burgeoning intolerance of youth. The oppressive environment that students are subjected to, coupled with brutal responses to any transgression including the drugging of children,are shown to have long-term repercussions beyond creating a generation of dysfunctional adults. Ultimately, democracy itself is under siege."[5]

TST Corporations
Soling is the listed manager of United Federation of Churches, LLC[6], which also does business as "The Satanic Temple".[7][8] The LLC owns the trademark "Lucien Greaves," the public name used by the corporation's registered agent and other signatory, Douglas Misicko.

Additionally, Soling is the sole owner of 64 Bridge LLC[16], through which he owns 64 Bridge St, Salem, MA 01970, "the international headquarters for The Satanic Temple" and "Salem Art Gallery".[17][18] It is also the registered address of many of Soling's Massachusetts-based corporations.
