Wexford Plaza
Wexford Plaza is a 2016 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Joyce Wong and starring Reid Asselstine and Darrel Gamotin.[1] The film centres on Betty (Reid Asselstine), a lonely young woman who takes a job as a security guard at a strip mall in the Scarborough area of Toronto, and becomes attached to Danny (Darrel Gamotin), a bartender in the mall.[2] Midway through, however, the film shifts to Danny's perspective, retelling the building of their relationship from his side.[3] The cast also includes Francis Melling, Ellie Posadas, Mirko Miljevic, Mitchell Jaramillo and Ann Paula Bautista. Although the mall in the film is similarly named to Toronto's real-life Wexford Heights Plaza, the film was actually shot at a closed strip mall in North York.[4] The film premiered at the Torino Film Festival in 2016,[5] and screened at several film festivals throughout 2017 before having its commercial premiere in Canada in November 2017. The Toronto Film Critics Association named the film as a finalist for the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award at the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards 2017.[6] It was a finalist for the John Dunning Discovery Award at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards. It won the Best Narrative Feature award at the San Diego Asian Film Festival 2017.[7] References
