THE PREMISE

Tidewater is a feature-length documentary following two friends as they journey halfway around the world to participate in the Targa newfoundland car race.

Along their journey they will meet other race teams from around the world also competing in Targa, all with one goal in mind: push their cars and themselves to the limit.

THE RACE

Targa is an annual car race covering 2,000 kilometers of streets and highways in Newfoundland over seven days in September. The race is a time-speed-distance rally, meaning the racer’s goal is to cross the finish line at a precise time rather than to finish the fastest.

The racers

The real story of Tidewater is the relationship of our two racers, Martin and Chris. 


Martin Pond and Chris Seiwald have known each other for nearly 30 years. Martin has been working on cars since his 20’s and his passion for racing is strong. Chris is not a “car guy” but has always had a nose for adventure.

While Martin is a planner, Chris tends to fly by the seat of his pants.


With Martin as driver and Chris as navigator, they will travel to the other side of the world to see just how fast they can go.
