Director/Writer Ron Dias‘ latest Feature, MORNINGSIDE is a love letter to Scarborough and got a big welcome last night at Scarborough Town Centre with the community showing up.

Starring are Joanne Jansen (who co-wrote the Script), Kiana Madeira, Lovell Adams-Gray, Fefe Dobson, Alex Mallari Jr, Olunike Adeyili and more.
