Biography
Nigel Markham has lived in Newfoundland for twenty years, where, following a period of work with the CBC as a cameraman, he began to work on his own independent film projects. A number of these films have taken him to Labrador, including Place Of The Boss - Utshimatssits. His directorial credits include the NFB productions, The Last Days Of Okak - an account of the devastating effects of the 1919 influenza epidemic on the Labrador Inuit, which won the Best Documentary award at the 1986 Atlantic Film Festival - and Taking Stock, a look at the history of the decline in the East Coast cod fishery, which won a Best Editing award at the 1994 Atlantic Film Festival.
