Nigel Markham

Cinematographer and director, also editor · Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

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.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
