Known For
A young university student, bored at work, finds herself at a crossroads. One way leads to a prestigious, but expensive, master's program in finance. Another way leads straight back to her current dead-end job. A third way involves a charming, flirtatious stranger who recognizes her from school. All in all, a strange night to get robbed.
The Pinch
Based on the tale by Dale Jarvis, "Lady at Number 16" tells the story of two sailors in the 1800s that help a young lady back into her mansion. They return a few hours later to realize that their night was not all that it had seemed, and it may have had a more sinister twist than expected.
Lady at Number 16
Amidst a mostly Catholic community, a small tiny Anglican church offers more to the community of Placentia than people may think, and holds many connections and history to the rest of the world.
The Little Church That Could
An independent investigative journalist is on a mission to solve a string of strange deaths occurring in the forests of Western Newfoundland. What was once thought to be animal attacks is now being studied a little closer and just may be murders carried out by the mythical creature of provincial folklore, the Webber.
