Filming Begins on Local Mystery Series
Cameras are rolling on a new mystery series as Bell/Fibe TV continues to bolster their catalogue of local content.
“Only the Night Knows”, a new limited series by Newfoundland-based Blue Pinion Productions, tells the story of Laura Noseworthy, who returns to her outport hometown to settle the estate of her estranged father, but has to unravel the truth when her sister’s killer is found dead.
The show stars a number of prominent local artists including Mary Walsh, Ruth Lawrence and Joel Thomas Hynes.
FILM REVIEW: Family drama Little Orphans finds the past in repeat in Newfoundland
Little Orphans, the feature debut of St. John’s, Nfld., director Ruth Lawrence, opens with two children playing (seemingly without any parents around) on a model of a ship that has been broken in two, as thirtysomething Gwen (Emily Bridger) anxiously watches.
Right off the bat, Lawrence draws attention to the heart of her film’s themes: abandonment and the re-emergence of the past.
