Seeds
Kaniehtiio Horn
The Canadian influencer Ziggy can hardly believe her luck: She has just signed an extremely lucrative advertising contract with the seed and fertilizer company Nature's Oath. Shortly afterwards, however, she has to return from the big city world to her old home, a Mohawk reservation. A non-relaxing holiday awaits them in her childhood home: Ziggy has no idea that an old secret is hidden there, which the very company that hired her is after. In addition to a stranger that appears to be monitoring her house, Ziggy also has to deal with a full-blown identity crisis.
Seeds is an exciting mixture of thriller and comedy. The film takes a dark-humoured but warmhearted look at the First Nations' struggle for autonomy in a time of hyper-individualism and unleashed mega-corporations.

Press reviews
"On its surface, Seeds is a pulpy romp, mixing broad comedy, chilling moments of dread, and full-on revenge horror to make for an entertaining grindhouse mashup. Yet beyond the buckets of blood and eco-friendly messaging, there is much that’s more profound element to spy the closer one looks." (Jason Gorber, COLLIDER)
"Seeds has a way of shifting tones from comedy to thriller naturally. This is a result of the excellent writing and direction on Horn’s part." (Aaron McComber, The Eastern Door)
