Our core philosophy is as we teach the next generation of artists how to thrive in the digital age, our brand identity and leverage against traditional media and entertainment outlets will grow when those we taught rise through the ranks of their chosen fields.
Focusing on Film/Acting classes first, Rising Tides will eventually expand to classes for all art forms traditional and digital.
AARON DAVID ROBERTS
Aaron has been working in the film industry since his pre-teen years as a PA/Grip on his father's award winning commercial production sets. Since then, Aaron has worked with award winning and experienced Hollywood talent in productions like Chartered (2019), and The Cast Members (2017), both of which have small cult like fan followings on Facebook.
Aaron has since spun some of his storytelling talent into the corporate and business world. After finding success working with a local award winning ad agency as an independent contractor, Aaron jumped over to help start the Digital Hospitality agency with one of his clients, Cali BBQ.Media, to revolutionize the way businesses interact with their customers through consistent, original, audio, video and written content.
With the team Aaron has assembled at Rising Tides Creative
(formerly Blue Vision Entertainment), he plans to pave a new way for independent artistic success that changes the relationships artists have with businesses, the entertainment industry and their own local art communities.
