Diane Collier, a woman of the 90's who has achieved almost everything a career woman could want, is stricken with a terminal illness. As she balances denial and acceptance, she tries to "hold on" to her world through indulgence in sex and chocolate and consumption of material goods while trying to make peace with her father after years of self-imposed exile.
The image of time slipping by is accentuated for Diane when she meets a wise clock-shop owner who rents her an apartment near her parents' house, while a mysterious angel, a cherubic little girl appears to Diane alone, calling her, inspiring her to paint a portrait of the angel and to face her destiny.
Once her father realizes that he has held onto his own dreams for Diane instead of letting her explore her dreams, he relents and tries to assist her in "stealing" her life back. But it is the little angel who finally leads her to the tides and the realm beyond in Angel's Tide.
The story of how this film came to be screened, is simply incredible, as 30 Years ago, Hollywood screenwriter, Woody Keith who penned the classic horror films: Society, Bride of Re-Animator, Silent Night and Deadly Night 4, made his directorial debut with this film Angel's Tide. Woody eventually left Hollywood and became Zeph E. Daniel while this movie was forgotten and never released.
But, while working on the documentary "The Darkside of Society", a work print of 'Angel's Tide' was discovered. And after a viewing (and the urging of his partners at Crazed House), Zeph E Daniel was able to go back, some 30 years later, and finish this movie the way he had originally envisioned. The IFS is proud to premiere this almost lost 1990's feature film.
