"Slash/Back"
A scrappy, spunky feminist sci-fi / horror story that's a terrific step forward in terms of onscreen representation of Indigenous people. It's a film that is as entertaining as it is unique.
Offering representation not often seen onscreen, director and co-writer Nyla Innuksuk‘s “Slash/Back” is a feminist sci-fi horror film about a group of girlfriends who must fight together to save their small town from monsters from another planet. It’s a story that’s reminiscent of “The Thing” and “Attack the Block,” but with a setting that gives a glimpse of Indigenous cultures in Canada and…

SLASH/BACK trailer released
Directed By Nyla Innuksuk, SLASH/BACK stars Tasiana Shirley, Alexis Vincent-Wolfe, Nalajoss Ellsworth and Chelsea Prusky.
Set in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, a sleepy hamlet nestled in the majestic mountains of Baffin Island in the Arctic Ocean, SLASH/BACK opens as the village wakes up to a typical summer day. No School, no cool boys (well… except one), and 24-hour sunlight. But for Maika and her…

Slash/Back Boards - Geologist Scene
My sister Nyla Innuksuk director the indigenous-kids adventure-sci fi-horor flick Slash/Back. It's a lot of fun and everyone should check it out!
She asked me to do some storyboards. It was my first time doing boards for live action it was a fun challenge. Below are my storyboards for the geologist scene from the beginning of the movie. And most of it is in the trailer, it's cool to see how it was translated.
I tried to make these boards look really slick, so people wouldn't just think I'm the kid brother.

Nyla Innuksuk’s Shudder Exclusive SLASH/BACK (2022) may be juvenilia, but it’s culturally relevant juvenilia that works on a lot of levels. The young Inuit girls in the remote town of Pangnirtung may not agree on how they feel about their hometown. Uki (Nalajoss Ellsworth) reveres the old ways while Maika (Tasiana Shirley) says the best thing about riding her father’s hunting boat is watching Pang get smaller and smaller until it disappears. But when alien parasites start taking over the local wildlife and a few humans, the young women band together to fight them off. Innuksuk grew up in Nunavut and informs the film with a keen sense of environment. She doesn’t have to strain to make her political points. One shot of the economically depressed town surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Northern Canada terrain says all you need to know about the lives these young women face. The actresses are all locals discovered and trained for the film, and they bring an impressive authenticity to the roles. At times they seem more natural than some of the professionals cast in the picture.
