Collin Poseley Brings Los Angeles Cinema Expertise Home to Sacramento with Hidden Tide
LMU cinema student and Sacramento State Master of Education graduate is building a perennial entertainment asset designed to create local business, attract visitors, and strengthen Sacramento as a venue city
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Collin Poseley is bringing his Los Angeles cinema training and production perspective home to Sacramento through Hidden Tide, a theatrical pop ensemble and storyworld preparing the 2027 release of its debut album. The project is being built as a perennial Sacramento cultural and entertainment asset—not a one-time event, but a production designed to return, evolve, employ, perform, and draw audiences over time.
Poseley is a cinema student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and holds a Master of Education from California State University, Sacramento. Hidden Tide brings those two paths together: the scale and visual thinking of cinema with an educator’s attention to development, collaboration, access, and the conditions artists need to grow.
Sacramento is not simply where Hidden Tide began. It is the project’s home. The long-term plan places rehearsals, creative development, recordings, music-video production, and live performance in the region while building toward wider national and international reach.
“I am bringing Los Angeles expertise to Sacramento to build a perennial asset here—the home of Hidden Tide. We will perform here, create local business, attract people from outside the region, and help establish Sacramento as a credible venue city.” — Collin Poseley
The local proposition extends beyond the stage. A recurring production can generate activity for venues, rehearsal spaces, technicians, musicians, performers, choreographers, designers, wardrobe teams, photographers, filmmakers, hospitality businesses, transportation providers, restaurants, and lodging. Audiences arriving from outside Sacramento can add another layer of spending while experiencing the city as a destination for original entertainment.
For Poseley, establishing Sacramento as a credible venue city means creating work with enough identity and ambition that people travel to see it. Hidden Tide is being designed to belong to Sacramento while refusing to think small about Sacramento’s place in regional and national culture.
Build a recurring live home for the production.
Activate local artists, crews, venues, and services.
Give out-of-town audiences a reason to come.
Strengthen Sacramento’s credibility as a venue market.
That ambition is visible in the project’s current foundation. Five principal characters have original songs, journals, costume references, and performance identities. The Nautical Culture archive connects historical maritime traditions to individual characters. The creator’s log documents the development process, and the audition platform gives artists a direct way to study the world before submitting recorded work.
Selected artists may participate in vocal recordings, music videos, rehearsals, and project-based live performances. The long-term touring vision begins with a clear home port: Sacramento.
Hidden Tide is accepting recorded auditions from singers, dancers, actresses, actors, musicians, and movement artists age 18 and older through October 31, 2026 (Halloween). Compensation is project-based.
