- Gerald S. Doyle was one of the first collectors of Newfoundland folk songs. He was also an avid cinematographer who left a collection of 12 hours of colour film, shot in outport Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's.

- Mummers and Masks is a one-hour documentary Christmas Special that explores the ageless world of mummers. The producer traces the legacy of mummering from the humble kitchen parties of the remote outports of Newfoundland to the wild parades and razamatazz of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, and the gaudy present-day Philadelphia Mummer's Parade with its swirling batons, clowns and string bands, to the ancient folk dramas (with their ageless renditions of death and resurrection) still annually, lovingly re-enacted in rustic corners of the British Isles and Europe.
- Healthcare in rural Newfoundland and Labrador relies on a resilient group of physicians who live and work in these rural communities. This documentary sheds light on the struggles and successes, the charms and challenges of life as a rural doctor. The film features in-person, on-camera interviews with doctors from across Newfoundland and Labrador. The physicians interviewed range in age, speciality, gender, and background to provide a diverse - yet surprisingly harmonious - description of their life and practice. Our documentary hopes to create awareness about the struggles of these rural physicians, while also celebrating their resiliency and commitment to their communities. We hope to stimulate conversation about how we can recruit and retain doctors to these areas, while also improving patient care for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Daniel and Lindsay met in 2017, when they joined Memorial University's Faculty of Medicine Class of 2021. In an effort to offset the cost of their tuition, they formed a videography company 'RW Media' and began filming local commercials and wedding videos. In 2019, they saw the opportunity to combine their expertise in film with their medical education. They applied for, and received, a small operating grant from Memorial University to undertake this documentary project.

- The first day of the Battle of the Somme sent hundreds of Newfoundland's famed Blue Puttees straight into the maw of machine gun fire that wiped out most of the regiment. Of more than 800 soldiers who went over the top that day, just 68 answered roll call the next morning. It was just one of the most horrific First World War campaigns that still haunt Canada's easternmost province. When the Boys Came Home asks the question: what happened to those young men who survived such carnage?

- A remote Newfoundland outport faces extinction. Once a vibrant community of independent fishermen, Bay de Verde was helpless in the face of international fishing trawlers and government fisheries mismanagement. The cod fishery collapsed in 1992 leading to the largest industrial layoff in Canadian history. A tide of outmigration followed, later slowed by a boom in mobile work as Newfoundlanders travelled back and forth to offshore oil rigs and further afield to Alberta's oil sands, and elsewhere. Still, most of Bay de Verde's young people are now gone. Its population has declined by half. How are those who remain at home coping? What future do they hope for? Will new developments, such as a different fishery (shellfish), tourism, and long-distance commuting be enough to save Bay de Verde? While our film focuses on one Newfoundland community, it serves as a wider comment on what is being lost in many rural places across the planet.
- The Cut of It is a unique exploration of the decisions real women made when they were diagnosed with cancer.
