The short story of a man and a meteorite.

Set in 1934 Duluth, Minnesota, during the Great Depression, Girl from the North Country centres on Nick Laine, who struggles to keep his guesthouse afloat amidst financial ruin. His wife, Elizabeth, battles dementia, while their adopted daughter, Marianne, harbours a secret pregnancy.

This is the story of The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood, a surreal comedy about a lowly bureaucrat and his fantasies of becoming president of an independent Newfoundland, that was released in 1986. A cult classic in Canadian cinema, the film is well known for the marathon it took to even get made. Principal photography on the film began eight years earlier, in 1978. Written and directed by comedy legend Andy Jones and his brother, Mike Jones, the movie was made on a shoestring budget, is packed with familiar faces and helped pave the way for Newfoundland and Labrador's vibrant film industry. And it was the first film ever both filmed and produced, from start to finish, in Newfoundland.
