Captain Newfoundland is a superhero that 'fought bad guys through the power of meditation and believed that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians could save the world through elevating their consciousness,' according to Jamie Miller, co-director of an upcoming documentary about the character and its creator, Geoffrey Stirling.
The story of Captain Newfoundland, the strange superhero who fights bad guys with meditation and regularly interrupted programming on the beloved local network NTV, is set to be told in a documentary about the media mogul who created him that was one of several projects greenlighted by Telefilm this week.
"Interviews with eastern spirituality leaders, live feeds of fish tanks, UFO footage, Captain Newfoundland green screened on top of classic music videos, all kinds of stuff." The Captain Newfoundland comic, which ran in local Newfoundland and Labrador papers since the 1970s, also featured Captain Canada .
He pointed to one night in 2009 when he was watching an Elvis concert on NTV, and it was suddenly interrupted by footage of Captain Newfoundland in front of a green screen.
