It's hard for me to be 100% objective when it comes to Newfoundland and Labrador films, simply for the fact I'm a) from Newfoundland, and b) there aren't a massive amount of homegrown films coming out of the province. So, it's always partly in my interest - as someone who's lived in this province the better part of my life, and an artist - to help support the industry. That being said, there are lots of incredible artists, of all sorts, here at home. Which means it isn't hard to find the real talent, if you truly want to see what Newfoundland has to offer.
Writer, director, and editor Martine Blue has gifted us a fresh story out of Newfoundland…
A coming of age tale unfolds in a gritty, largely misunderstood subculture. Great performances from Taylor Hickson and Joel Thomas Hynes.
