JO: A Life Between Tides

A feature film and a multi-episode docuseries, based on the novel.

"Three strangers arrive looking for nothing in particular. What they find instead is a reason to stay."

Word is already spreading around the world. Catch the teaser and see why.

This is only the beginning. A complete series bible is ready to take the story further, the kind of opportunity producers and financiers can't afford to miss.

The Feeling

You have been running for a long time. Long enough that you stopped calling it running.

Then one morning the water is still — and so, somehow, are you.

“How long can I stay?”Long enough to stop counting.

Tidewell is a town that feeds strangers before it asks their names. At the Long Table, trust is passed in bowls and second helpings — in the quiet between one story and the next.

Nobody here will hurry you. Nobody here will hold you too tightly, either. That is the whole trick of the place.

Yes, there is a hum at the edge of town — a factory whose purpose no one fully explains. It is not frightening, once you stop expecting it to be. It is only the sound of something patient.

The road out has its own patience. It lets you leave when you are ready — and not one hour before.

The tide takes what we cannot carry — grief, memory, the selves we were — and brings it all back changed. Nothing here is truly lost. Only kept, somewhere the water remembers.

This story is not in a hurry with you. It will take as long as it takes — and it will see you the whole way through.

Come as you are. The water has been waiting.

Production Strategy

Primary location: Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria — an already selected Canary Islands setting whose atmospheric coastal scenery matches the tide-governed story. The production tax rebate has a tiered structure: 50% on the first €1,000,000 of qualifying production spend, and 45% on qualifying spend above that threshold, subject to eligibility. The full budget breakdown will be finalized as vendor and crew quotes for the already selected Puerto de Mogán location are confirmed.

Risk disclosure

This is a high risk, illiquid investment in an early stage media project. There is no guarantee JO will be produced, distributed, or profitable. Investors should be prepared to lose their entire investment.
