Starring Gemini & Canadian Screen Awards winning actor, Patrick McKenna (Traders, Remedy, The Red Green Show) and emerging actors, Brendan Jeffers (Degrassi) and Farid Yazdani (Suits). Gnawed of Approval is a comical, political, analytical and rhyme-riddled musical short film.
Synopsis:
Billionaire and real estate tycoon, Richard Lodd (Patrick McKenna) is running for President of the United States of America. He has the money. He has the power. He has the familiarity with the public. What he doesn’t have is a connection with America’s young and diverse citizens. He needs that to takeover the White House, so he decides to use the help of America’s most popular and foolish rap duo, Wanx and Stanx of the Gnawed Skwad (Brendan Jeffers & Farid Yazdani). However, instead of asking them for an endorsement, or even bribing the money-loving duo, Mr. Lodd chooses to kidnap and coerce them into helping. Bad idea, when you’re dealing with the wildly unpredictable pair. Coercion quickly turns into a battle of wits, which quickly turns into a one-sided rap battle, as Lodd and the Gnawed Skwad struggle for control in a political (and comical) sound clash.
