Born 1999-08-03 · Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

James Newhook is a filmmaker rooted in the captivating landscapes of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, with a deep admiration for both history and film. Over the years, as he has delved into filmmaking and immersed himself with Newfoundland's history, he's come to realize that film can serve as an extraordinary medium to both educate and preserve stories that would otherwise vanish into the annals of time. His works often center around the local Newfoundland culture, ranging from adapting true stories from his hometown and creating documentaries that archive historical aspects, to producing cinematic adaptations of the folklore deeply woven into the culture of his home province.
