Storyline
Casting "EXP," a technological satire about hookup culture following a mother and son who together live in a cramped apartment even though they are alienated from one another, and whose relationships always seem to be failing.

Production states: "The director Ted Sakowsky has many accolades including a Tiff Canada Top Ten short film premiere. This project is promoting his debut feature film."

This audition is for a tentative (in talks) deal as a lead / supporting cast in a Telefilm Talent to Watch film.
