In The Audit, Danny, portrayed by Tedd Kuchta, represents a complex, deeply ingrained figure in Joshua’s world, acting as both a father and an immovable force that Joshua has learned he must stand his ground against.

Tedd brings a seasoned intensity to the role, drawing upon his own disciplined background in U.S. Army Special Operations and his extensive experience in film, television, and voiceover work, to capture the challenging dynamic of a parent whose expectations often collide with the reality of his son’s experience.

Unlike the other pressures Joshua faces, his relationship with Danny has reached a boiling point, defined by a long-standing tension that demands a constant, defensive posture from Joshua, forcing a confrontation that is as emotionally heavy as it is pivotal to the film's climax.

Meet Marsha:
Portrayed by the talented Sara Gaston, Marsha serves as the anchor in a fracturing home. Marsha acts as the family’s reluctant mediator as she navigates the crossfire of her husband’s denial and her son’s sensory overload.

By bringing the same calm, analytical de-escalation skills she uses in her career as a financial consultant to the hallway of her own home, she strives to be the ultimate peacekeeper in a house defined by conflict.

Beneath her crisp, professional exterior lies a deeply tired parent who sees her son with profound clarity, making her silent exhaustion and steadfast presence just as powerful as her words as she works to bridge the gap in a family struggling to find common ground.

Introducing Joshua

We are thrilled to have Mack Bayda stepping into the role of Joshua in The Audit.
Joshua is a character defined by the immense sensory pressures that shape his world. He navigates life with two distinct voices: an inner voice that provides a safe haven of control and routine, and an outer voice that emerges during stressful moments, causing him to constantly question his own competency.

While Joshua’s outward demeanor may appear rigid or even robotic, Mack brings a full, churning spectrum of emotion to the role. We cannot wait for you to see how Mack, who famously played Malcolm opposite Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto, uses his incredible talent to bring Joshua’s complex internal journey to life.

Meet Stephen

Played by the talented Tristen Hoge, Stephen serves as one of the most intense figures in Joshua’s orbit. While the tension between them is constant, it manifests in a way that forces Joshua to constantly "walk on eggshells," leaving him in a state of perpetual fear regarding his next move. Expect an incredibly strained dynamic that keeps the pressure mounting throughout the film.
