Millefiore Clarkes (also called Mille Clarkes), is a Canadian filmmaker from Prince Edward Island. She has produced music videos, experimental shorts and documentary films, as well as commercials. She also owns and operates One Thousand Flowers Productions. The name of the film production company is derived from her first name, which means "one thousand flowers" in Italian.
Mille Clarkes was born in Toronto and moved to Prince Edward Island with her father when she was 11 years old. Her father is Canadian artist and composer Gerard Luther Clarkes, they have worked together on Melodies for Max (2013) and Land Feed the Farmer (2015) for the PEI Council of the Arts.
She currently resides in Belfast, Prince Edward Island where she lives with her son.
After studying philosophy at King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she went on a road trip across Canada, the United States and Mexico, and documented her travels. She returned to her home in Prince Edward Island with 60–70 hours of footage and taught herself Final Cut Pro at the Island Media Arts Cooperative.Stalking Love (2005) was shown in five film festivals and aired more than 20 times on CBC's documentary channel from 2006 to 2009. According to Clarkes, her experimental documentary is not so much about love as about the people talking about love. She said "If you ask people about love, their answer is very telling about who they are as a person. You can’t lie about love—or, if you do [...] that still tells something about who you essentially are".
After producing her film, she worked at the Island Media Arts Cooperative and as an editor and executive director from 2005 to 2008. Her institutional work also includes sitting on the boards of The PEI Council of the Arts and the Women in Film and Television-Atlantic. She is also the curator for The Island Media Arts Festival and one of the founding members of The Island Film Factory.
