Prepare to dive into a captivating tale with a stellar cast! 'God of Tides' is an indie film that promises to leave you breathless. Based on the inspiring true story of freediver Virgil Price III, this movie will star Grant Gustin, known for his iconic role as The Flash, as the lead character, Virgil. But here's where it gets controversial... Virgil's journey is far from the typical superhero narrative.
Written and directed by Maria Topete and Cruz Angeles, 'God of Tides' delves into Virgil's past as a promising musician, now grappling with alcoholism, failure, and strained family ties. As Virgil seeks redemption through the challenging world of competitive freediving, he discovers a sanctuary in the depths of the ocean. However, the ocean's mercy is not guaranteed, and Virgil must confront not only the physical trials of his sport but also the haunting depths of his own mind.
Campbell Scott, a veteran actor with credits including 'Big Night' and 'House of Cards', takes on the role of Big Virgil, Virgil's father. Rainey Qualley, an actress and musician, plays Ash, Virgil's sister, and Elias Koteas, known for his powerful performances in 'The Thin Red Line' and 'Chicago P.D.', guides Virgil as Walker, his sobriety mentor.
Cruz Angeles describes the film as an exploration of gratitude, acceptance, and the indomitable human spirit. With such a talented cast, 'God of Tides' is set to be an emotional and thought-provoking experience.
And this is the part most people miss... 'God of Tides' is produced by Virgil Price II, who has a proven track record with films like 'Don't Let Me Drown' and 'Lovely, Still'.
