THE CREATIVE TEAM
MARK & BRENDA HAVILLE
PRODUCERS
WRITERS
THE TIDE CAN TURN Christian Musical Drama is the vision of Mark and Brenda Haville who reside in Nashville, Tennessee, aka "Music City." Together they have crafted the story and written the screenplay.
The mission of this movie is to help teach the purpose of suffering in the lives of believers and the message that "God sometimes allows the things he hates to achieve the things he loves."
This Biblical message is wrapped within a beautiful love story of a young man and woman living in purity, waiting to be married, who experience an evil act which threatens the life they have planned.
In addition to the story and screenplay, Mark and Brenda have written songs for The Tide Can Turn. Mark has written the lyrics for fifteen original songs including the title track "The Tide Can Turn,""Crying in Tonight," and "What I have Now."
Together, Mark and Brenda wrote the music and lyrics for "Give 'Em Jesus," a song reminiscent of a classic hymn which will be featured during a church service in the film.
