Director Statement

 I have always been fascinated by the concept of duality in characters and the binary opposition that comes along with it. The narrative for ‘Abjection’ is filled with duality and oppositions that represent feminist symbolism that highlights the female oppression in a patriarchal construct. Unlike a typical Zombie sci-fi plotline, ‘Abjection’ is not a story about the survival of the fittest. It is a story that represents the absence of freedom in the lives of women. Disguised behind the cliché genre, the story primarily projects archetypes that express women’s subordination and repression in a male dominated society.
