At the heart of Haboolm Ksinaalgat (SOUL CATCHER) is a true childhood story from screenwriter Pamela Post's Ts'msyen father.

Pamela Post, Amanda Strong & Spotted Fawn Productions have joined forces to tell that story. They’ve wrapped it in a gwishalaayt (Chilkat robe) of supernatural, shape-shifting Ts’msyen adventure and characters on a mission of love and reckoning, about to make its World Premiere at TIFF in September!

Big thanks to our amazing team, funders and supporters who believed in this story and long process of stop motion animation. Special shout out to actor Jesse Stretch for braving this important role of Father McTavish and Anna for your tender animation of this moment in the film.

Funded by: Canada Council For the Arts, Shaw Rocket Fund, Indigenous Screen Office, Spotted Fawn Productions, First People’s Cultural Council, and BC Arts Council. @indigenousscreen @rocketfundcanada

Amanda Strong (Director/Producer/Editor), Pamela Post (Co-Director/Screenplay) and Spotted Fawn Productions are thrilled to announce that our short stop motion animated Ts’msyen film, Haboolm Ksinaalgat (SOUL CATCHER), is making its WORLD PREMIERE at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) this September!

We’re so grateful and honoured, after over 4 years work on this beautiful Indigenous stop motion film starring Cree/Métis actress Tantoo Cardinal and Ts’msyen/German/Scottish-Canadian actor/musician Asher Maclaren, to have it showcased at TIFF.

Based on a true story from Pamela Post’s Ts’msyen father John Post, Soul Catcher sets out to right a wrong through art and to celebrate Ts’msyen worldviews and ways. With Amanda and Spotted Fawn Production’s artistry, Pamela’s story has transformed into Haboolm Ksinaalgat (Soul Catcher) - a stunning stop motion animated film filled with time-travelling supernatural adventures and Indigenous love and reckoning - and we can’t wait to share it with the world!

More details, pics and trailers coming soon!

Wayi wah! (Let’s do this!)

The long wait is over! ‘Inkwo for When The Starving Return’ has officially been released online with the Nation Film Board of Canada. 🎥🍁
 I cannot express how grateful I am to have been invited to worked on this stop motion with such a wonderful team, and powerhouse of a director, Amanda Strong. I am wowed beyond belief the kind of magic that happens with the right people in a creative process. I had the privilege to have fabricated props, construct and dress sets, be part of camera department and much more!
