Natural Selection

“At our darkest time, a moment will come that will define who we are.”

Tyler Evans (Mason Dye) is a shy teenager who has moved to a new town with his alcoholic mother (Amy Carlson), and the kids at his new high school make him a target almost at once. Adrift and looking for answers, he latches onto Indrid Wardin (Ryan Munzert), a new friend who seems to have everything worked out. Chad L. Scheifele, expanding his own 2009 short, keeps the story close to Tyler's loneliness.
