Celebrated Mi’gmaw filmmaker, Jeff Barnaby believes the Canadian film industry is making “slow but albeit reluctant” steps towards supporting Indigenous filmmakers. His latest film, Blood Quantum was referred to as an “important step for Native filmmaking” in one glowing review. Barnaby says it took 13 years from coming up with the idea and finding the funding to getting Blood Quantum made and out to the masses.
