A Rising Tide

“Hurricane Sandy devastated Atlantic City, and in A RISING TIDE our characters have to rebuild their lives, reclaim their dreams, and learn to find strength in one another,” said Landa. In A RISING TIDE After the destruction of his family's well-established Atlantic City restaurant during Hurricane Sandy, a young chef, Sam Rama must grow up quickly, taking the biggest risks of his life, both in business and love. “The score for A RISING TIDE is about heartache and hope. I wanted to capture the essence of the sun-kissed shoreline and the love and longing that permeate the story. The idea of representing those themes with electric guitar solos intrigued me, especially in light of New Jersey’s well-known contributions to rock music. As a guitarist it was a dream to perform this music accompanied by string orchestra.”
