Friends, lovers, frenemies, exes, or all of the above? πŸ’…πŸΌ TIDAL has something for everyone, though that something is not always a someone…

A romantic comedy may guarantee a happy ending, but you can still expect chaos and infuriating slow burns along the way. Part of the fun of this genre is the wildly different dynamics at play between core characters and never knowing who ends up with who until the final act. Some besties will always be mistaken as partners, while others swear β€˜til the end that they’re just friends… unless? Not to mention, the β€œwhat are we?” conversation becomes an even more loaded situation to unpack when q***rness is involved. Good luck, babes!

🎬 Crowdfunder update: 4 days left and $400 away from the next milestone of our ACF campaign. Let’s go out with a bang β€” πŸ”— in bio to donate until end of the month! πŸ’Έ Amounts above $2 are tax-deductible.

🌈 Everything raised directly supports this WA-centric indie q***r-led project, making a better picture for you to enjoy in the future + helping us facilitate accessible opportunities for the growth of our cast and crew’s emerging skills.

Thank you for being here for the ride!

First table read for Tidal πŸ„β€β™€οΈ 〰️ a milestone which means the start of production is coming up soon!

Not everyone is accounted for here, but this was still the most cast members we have ever had in one place so far + our first time hearing most of the script aloud in voices other than our own, which was a surreal process.

The first threads of this story originated in 2019, as an act of escapism from the extreme cold of a northern hemisphere winter. We immersed ourselves building the details of a fictional surfer’s life and her unlikely circle of companions, set along the west coast during summer.

Fast forward to 2023, with our perspectives endowed with a handful of more heartbreaks, mid-20s angst, and several initiations into adulthood through life-changing milestones… the story grew with us, and these characters became cathartic channels to process these experiences.

Now, in 2024 these characters not only have names and personality traits, but faces, voices, and heartbeats. The universe we began building with has a title, and TIDAL is our combined effort to share this world of loves and losses with you. Thank you for helping us bring this story to life, from ink to action.

🎬 Our ACF crowdfunder will be online until the end of next month. Link in our bio to make a tax-deductible contribution to this project!

🌈 100% of donations support emerging indie artists + the production of a q***r film made exclusively in WA

You know the breakup was bad when the best friend gets involved β€” if Eve had it her way, JJ wouldn’t be allowed to exist upon the same continent. To break Violet’s heart is to do so much worse to Eve’s, burning every bridge and courtesy in the process… and it shows.
