We follow first-time feature director Stephen Dunn on the nervous-making day of his film premiere, see two dancers of different genres mash up their styles for an upcoming performance, meet a Japanese-Canadian artist with a new baby, and hear internationally renowned hip hop choreographer Lenny Dela Pena reveal a life-changing moment from his childhood. And there's more! This is only the beginning - for Exhibitionists.
