Building a sandcastle together on a beach, a toddler helps a man process his grief. This short film is about loss, time, and finding meaning in life.
A bit about A Man's Tide
A Man's Tide (AMT) is a crowd-funded short film, currently in post-production. Planning started in April '23; fundraising finished in early September, and shooting began in later October. Due to some failures in coverage, the production continue fundraising throughout the holidays and the new year, in order to return to the beach in February to complete filming.
We’re telling the story of a man reeling from the loss of a miscarriage. The film is set on the beach, where the man is incidentally acquainted with a young child; the pair talk and build a sandcastle, waiting for the boy’s mother to return.
The central tension exists between this child, Archie, and the man’s fragmented memories of his wife, with the present moment on the beach serving as a painful reminder of the future the man has lost. For a more detailed explanation of our vision, check out our fundraiser.
For the last few months we've been working on the edit, making sure the cut is tight and as disciplined as possible. We're currently aiming for completion in early September.
