Neon Tides is a 5-minute experimental short film that captures the electric energy of Miami Beach at twilight. The film follows a lone spoken word artist as they wander from the iconic Ocean Drive neon signs to the quiet shores of South Beach, reflecting on themes of transformation and belonging. Using a mix of handheld cinematography, slow-motion ocean waves, and vibrant neon reflections, the piece creates a dreamlike portrait of the city's dual nature—glamorous and serene. The creative vision is to merge the rhythmic intensity of spoken word with the visual pulse of Miami's nightlife. The film will feature original music by a local producer, combining electronic beats with natural ocean sounds. What makes this unique is its hyper-local focus: every frame is designed to showcase Miami's iconic locations and cultural vibe, from the Art Deco district to the vibrant street art of Wynwood, creating a postcard that moves and breathes. This project is a collaboration between filmmakers, a spoken word artist, a musician, and a colorist, aiming to produce a portfolio piece that resonates with festival curators and tourism boards alike. It's achievable within 3 weeks and leverages the current trend of immersive, location-specific storytelling.
