HIGH TIDE IS A film PRODUCTION agency that makes branded video content. We put people and the planet first.

Who are High Tide

High Tide was founded by Alex Porter-Smith & Eathan Currie. As creatives, their goal was to collaborate on impactful campaigns using working practices that benefit both people and the planet. We work with selected film crews of around five to ten people on each shoot; this keeps our carbon footprint low, whilst staying flexible when working on ambitious projects.
