The film, Horn's directorial debut, was described by Horn as a "home invasion comedy" inspired by Home Alone and Shaun of the Dead.[1] Its cast also includes Graham Greene, Patrick Garrow, Peter Keleghan, Dallas Goldtooth, Meegwun Fairbrother, Morgan Bedard, Josh Bainbridge, Dylan Cook, Cherish Violet Blood and Kawennakon Bonnie Whitlow.[2]
The film premiered in the Discovery program at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.[3]
Alex Hudson of Exclaim! rated the film 7 out of 10, writing that "a cutting commentary and an inviting glimpse into life in a small Kanienʼkehá:ka community, Seeds doesn't quite sprout into a fully realized film, but it's a promoting beginning for a budding cinematic talent."[4]
The film was shortlisted for the 2024 Jean-Marc Vallée DGC Discovery Award.[5]
