The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood

Directed by Michael Jones
10 years in the making, the iconic comedy cult classic. The first movie to be fully made and produced in Newfoundland.

Faustus is a clerk in St. John's at the Newfoundland Department of Education. He dreams of becoming ruler of Newfoundland and seceding from Canada. In the real world, Faustus' boss Eddie Peddle plans to indoctrinate the citizenry of Newfoundland with a cult-like geometric theory known as Total Education, but Peddle may be foiled by the revelation of a secret from his past career.
