Defining Instincts

2012, 130 minutes

A music driven motion picture that deals with the struggles and challenges faced by the youth of today.

“defining instincts” from director rob bryton takes you into the ever changing, difficult to understand world of youth. The raw visuals and powerful sounds express the fears of self and others as well as the need to be heard and respected ever so present in youth today. “defining instincts is a shifting world of image and music – a multitude of interactive media – real-life footage and fantasy….” In it we follow several teenagers as each encounters and struggles with some very real challenges. The stories can be harsh at times, but there is a dominant theme of hope that thrums like a constant drone-note throughout.
