趣闻
Morningside is a Canadian drama film, directed by Ron Dias and released in 2024.
Production
The film faced challenges securing initial funding from Canadian institutions like Telefilm and the Canada Council for the Arts, who questioned the market demand for another Scarborough-focused movie following the success of Scarborough and Brother. Despite setbacks, the film received grassroots support from the Scarborough community and businesses, with locations like Mona's Roti and The Real McCoy featured in the production.
The film has been noted for shooting in various locations, including The Real McCoy burger shop and Warden station, that have since shut down or undergone redevelopment.
The producers also partnered with the Scarborough Boys & Girls Club to raise funds for affordable housing in the area by selling film-branded sweatshirts.
In a February 2025 interview on CBC Radio One's q, Ron Dias spoke about how his upbringing in Scarborough influenced the themes and characters in Morningside.
