The Governor of Georgetown
A one-hour documentary on the daily life of beloved St. John's personality and bottle-collector Wayne Skinner — otherwise known as The Governor of Georgetown. Skinner passed away in March of 2023 at the age of 66, but was known by many for his sweet, loveable and gentle soul. In this sensitive tribute, director Kenneth J Harvey accompanies Skinner over five days as he ventures around the city of St. John's, collecting bottles and visiting with regular customers and friends in their homes and in the streets.
The (Other) 700 Club
At the intersection of Broadway and Thornton St in Brooklyn, a loose community of delivery workers gathers every day to hang out and share their experiences while waiting for their next job. The (Other) 700 Club opens the door to a microcosm of street philosophers that discuss about their own beliefs, goals and motivations.
The Bearded Beekeeper
An engaging short documentary about Ian Hussey's journey from farmer to Newfoundland's "Bearded Beekeeper". Hussey discusses his love of Newfoundland bees, the uniqueness of their honey, and his quest to sustainably share these gifts.
Miss Campbell: Inuk Teacher
Miss Campbell: Inuk Teacher tells the story of Evelyn Campbell, a Inuk K-12 teacher who blazed a trail for an Inuit-led educational system in Rigolet, Labrador. Director Heather Campbell combines watercolour paintings, home movies, family photos and animation to celebrate her grandmother's spirit and the Inuit heritage she passed down through her passion for learning through music and stories, and family.
