Congratulations to Brianne Nord-Stewart whose TELUS Optik™ Local project Young & Reckless is up for four awards at next weekend’s TO WebFest.

Young & Reckless is up for best comedy, sound design, supporting performance and Canadian story. The awards are handed out during the fest which happens May 25 to 27.

When law-school dropout Devon Young moves back in with his mom, the last thing he expected was to fall for Claire, the Camaro-driving advertising exec who lives across the street. Now Devon will do anything to win the woman of his dreams, including battling her 14-year-old daughter Olivia, the teen of his nightmares.

Watch the series.
