Newfoundland filmmaker Rosemary House has been writing, directing and producing dramatic and documentary films for Rock Island and other companies since 1990, when she produced "Rufus Guinchard" about the legendary Newfoundland fiddler, and directed the award winning short "When Women Are Crazy". Since then she has made 20 films, including dramatic shorts, documentaries and features.
