WESLEY And American Gun Culture: A Conversation With Travis Andrade
travisandrade.com By Elizabeth Sorrell on
WESLEY is a haunting short film about the pervasiveness of American gun culture on young boys. It is the story of Wesley (James Sandler), a young boy who is both surrounded and fascinated by guns. When Blake (Johnathan Irwin), a troubled friend of his older brother has gotten hold of a 3D-printed gun, we follow Wesley’s infatuation of guns. The 15-minute film ends on Wesley eerily smiling to himself at the prospect of Blake committing a school shooting.
At a point in time where there are under 330 million people in the USA but those civilians collectively own 393 million guns, new problems with respect to gun control are showing themselves in tandem with the rise of accessible manufacturing technology.
