Natural Selection Poster

Tyler (Mason Dye) is a young man who is desperately seeking direction from a world that seems to have abandoned him. Everyday at school he fights for survival, as he is easy prey amongst the endless hallways of fellow studentpredators. Searching for answers he looks to his friend Indrid (Ryan Munzert) who appears to have it all figured out.

Tyler takes Indrid’s ideology and adopts it as his own. Not long after, Tyler sees the whole picture more clearly but is this new vision for the better? Or could it be more damaging than he could have ever imagined? Soon, Tyler finds himself in the middle of the storm and gets caught up in something he may not be able to change.Natural Selectionis a story of triumph and absolution. It explores both sides ofhuman nature, where love as well as hate are separated by a thread and the potential corrosion of ones soul by the influence of evil.
