Experiencing Interruptions?

Tidal

Swim forwards, or move backwards.

Lee is faced with a difficult decision; to face up to his responsibilities and move forward with his life, or continue in fear and live to regret it.

'Tidal' features cinematography from BAFTA winning Ryan Eddleston (also recently filmed 'Prevenge' by Alice Lowe) and central performances by fresh faces; Ross Cawton and Cheri Louise. It is written and directed by award winning filmmaker Jonathan Kemp.
