, “Tides” unspools in a dark and wet future when the privileged few who were able to leave Earth and avoid the consequences of climate change have learned to regret their exodus and begin to wonder what things are like back on the blue dot. To learn more, expeditions are sent from their new colony of Kepler back to Earth, to see if a return is at all realistic.

Fehlbaum co-wrote the original screenplay with Mariko Minoguchi and enlisted one of the world’s top sci-fi cinematographers in Markus Förderer to give the film its look and feel.about the challenges he faced in filming “Tides,” his green screen allergies and how he found his Blake. I try not too much to think about genre when starting to think about a movie. On the other hand, I have to say I like to play with genres, to play with the rules while keeping my approach as authentic as possible. I like to go as far outside the rules of a specific genre as possible while keeping my feet very much on the ground. At the end of the day with “Tides,” our most important rule was to find the authenticity and the physicality in every little bit of our film.

For Kepler we built only the two walls you see in the film. Outside the window in that room, we didn’t even use green screen, just clever lighting from my cinematographer Markus Förderer, who is one of the best in all of the world. Then for the scene with the Kepler community, that was shot in a building in the middle of my hometown which was constructed by a famous Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron that uses materials in an interesting and futuristic way.
