Mönkwitz

When 8-year-old Ole disappears, the apparent peace in a small village in eastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is put to the test. In her search for the child, Rostock police officer Mona uncovers a monster of vigilante justice and oppression that has grown over decades.

Mels Block

Today, MEL (34) is on the winning side of life, but it wasn’t always this way. The thought of her own past disrupts the happiness of the self-made millionaire so much that she buys the concrete building she grew up in. She wants to put her history behind her, but anyone who summons the old ghosts must be prepared for them to have their own opinions.

Schnitt stelle

Jenny lives in a slab building. The young mother has to look after her child practically alone. After all, the father, a musician, is rarely ever at home and not willing to look for a real job. A little roadmovie exploring the district Groß Klein in Rostock at the end of a love.

WIEGENLIED

Johanna, a young neurologist, confronts her unsettling family past after meeting a new patient, six-year-old Lotte. Her obsession with trying to understand the girl’s mind and finding a cure for the rare condition prompts memories of the sexual abuse Johanna experienced when she was Lotte’s age; and puts her into a confrontation with her entire family.

HURENKIND

Everyone is dying in the village – physically or mentally. Hannah (18) wants to flee her provincial home, a small island in the Baltic Sea. But this is more difficult than expected, not only because of the sea.

An orphan (german: Hurenkind) can refer to the first line of a new paragraph that sits on its own at the bottom of a column of text.

Blackmoll

To save her from being sent to a nursing home, a seven-year old girl sets out to find proof for her grandmother’s demented reality.

Medienförderung RLP

WELCOME TO OUR FEATURE FILM PAGE!

In 2020, the combination of a creative and a producer gave rise to the company Tidewater Pictures, based in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Founded by Paula Elina Klossner and Stephan Buske, the company develops and produces national and international feature films and series. With the right feel for social relevance, the goal of the young production company is to entertain, inspire and move its audience continuously and sustainably.

Our passion for fictional projects gives us new motivation everyday. Meanwhile, we benefit from a fantastic network which allows us to build a strong team for each individual project. Our films aim to capture special moments in life and carry the magic of moving pictures.

Since this year we are member of the German Producers Association (Produzentenverband e.V.) and are also involved in the Producers Association of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
