Writer/Director Jeff Barnaby is back with his sophomore follow-up to 'Rhymes for Yong Ghouls', A zombie themed horror film titled Blood Quantum.
Blood Quantum is set on a fictional First Nations reserve that's immune to a zombie plague and becomes inundated with outsiders looking for refuge. Barnaby says the story was inspired by George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and a documentary called Incident at Restigouche. The documentary is about the 1981 armed Quebec Provincial Police raid on the Restigouche Reserve to dispute the salmon-fishing rights of the Mi'gmaq.
