I’ve been recording sound for a documentary directed by Mary Lewis about Holy Heart of Mary High School in St. John’s.

(I’m also tweaking the design of this site — when I have time, which isn’t often. So things could get funky for the next little while. My resume and About pages need to be updated too. I’ll tidy up everything as soon as I can.)

Phillip Cairns has been working in the film industry in St. John’s, Newfoundland, since 2006 when he directed his first film short, “I Want It All.” He works as an assistant director, a sound recordist, an assistant editor, a closed captioning guy — a little bit of everything. He is a member of NIFCO (the Newfoundland Independent Filmmakers Co-Operative) and he spells his name with two Ls, not one. He also likes this quote from filmmaker, Michel Gondry: “If an idea is good, it’s on the verge of being stupid.” (Phillip has plenty of stupid ideas, so this gives him hope for his next film.)
