Jeff Barnaby

Jeff Barnaby (1976 – 13 October 2022) was a Mi'kmaq and Canadian film director, writer, composer, and film editor.

Born and raised on the Mi’kmaq reservation of Listuguj Quebec, a consummate iconoclast, Jeff Barnaby dropped the drum and the feather for sex, violence, and boozehound broken Indians, earning him the badge of bad-boy of native Canadian cinema. Having graduated in 2004 from Concordia’s film production program, he has won numerous awards and his films have been shown around the world and are available on a variety of streaming services. His debut feature film was Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013), followed by Blood Quantum (2019).
