At a press conference on the start of filming Tideland, Gilliam introduced Jodelle in the following words: “I met Jodel, an outstanding girl, and then I discovered that she had created more films than I did.” This film really became for Ferland the 26th project. Jodelle Ferland independently invented four different accents for doll heads, with which her heroine Jeliza-Rose plays in “The Land of the Tides ”. The game Ferland in this phantasmagoric mix " Alice in Wonderland " and " Psycho " Hitchcock was awarded the highest praise of critics .

In addition, Jodelle can be seen in the horror film adaptation of the famous Japanese video game Silent Hill , released in spring 2006, where the actress plays three roles at once. During the auditions for the film “ Silent Hill ”, the actress told the director Christoph Hans that she would like to play the devil .
