Overview
"Breeding Ground is a political horror story that reflects on the experiences and anxieties that come with growing up within traditional, heteronormative, male-dominated groups. It's a mediation on how American boys with privilege are raised in America and indoctrinated with certain values that can often be taken to a violent extreme. My work throughout this program has used the horror and science fiction genres to explore social and political issues such as class struggle, racism, the dangers of religion, and ultimately, indoctrination and masculinity. While my work has often looked outwards at issues that don't directly affect me, this story is a deeply personal reflection on my own unique experiences in America." -- Abstract
