TORONTO - Jeff Barnaby is a visionary in the filmmaking world â so much so that it seems the industry is still trying to figure out where he fits, he says.
His Indigenous zombie horror "Blood Quantum" is the leading film contender for next week's Canadian Screen Awards with 10 nominations, including best editing and screenplay for Barnaby. And yet he says he's struggling to land his next project.
