Brad Gover is a renowned filmmaker, documentary producer, and interactive media expert, with a diverse portfolio that showcases his versatility and creativity.
His early work includes "The Care Package" (2006),a fictional short film that premiered to sold-out audiences at prominent Canadian film festivals. This success was followed by his producing credits on the National Film Board's interactive documentary "Bubble Dancers" (2014),which explores the lives of restaurant dishwashers, and the CBC television documentary "The Needle and the Damage Undone" (2012),which examines the impact of harm reduction on individuals who use injection drugs.
Gover's subsequent projects demonstrate his ability to tackle complex and thought-provoking subjects. He directed "Sister Morphine" (2014),a documentary that sheds light on the struggles of Newfoundland nurses who are addicted to the drugs they administer daily. He also produced two feature films, "Away from Everywhere" (2016),starring Shawn Doyle, Joanne Kelly, and Jason Priestley, and "Riverhead" (2016),a drama that explores the devastating consequences of a blood feud between two families in a small Newfoundland outport community.
In addition to his feature film work, Gover has produced a range of short films, including "Wife and Death" (2016),a dark comedy written and starring Matt Wright, and the television pilot "The Slattery Street Crockers" (2013),written and directed by international best-selling novelist Kenneth J. Harvey.
As a respected figure in the Canadian film industry, Gover serves on the boards of the Newfoundland Independent Filmmakers Co-Operative (NIFCO) and the Producers Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (PANL). He is also a former president of the Nickel Independent Film Festival, a testament to his dedication to supporting and promoting emerging talent in the industry.
