« The script [for Sgaaway K'uuna] is based on traditional stories that have been told in Haida society since time immemorial with Gwaai Edenshaw and Helen Haig-Brown in the co-directors chair. Sgaawaay K'uuna is the first feature film spoken entirely in the Haida language and using Haida actors, a process inspired [by] Zacharias Kunuk's Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. [...] The entire cast did an incredibly believable job with the script. [Tyler] York's committed performance takes centre stage for most of the film as he goes from a grieving family member to full-on 'crazy', making me gasp at times during his transition. »
