Dead Ringer

"They shot a movie once, in my hometown..."

“Dead Ringer” is a feature length documentary film that focuses on Casa Loma, investigating the way the building functions as a microcosm for the larger city, in terms of Toronto’s history as a stand-in for American cities in cinema. The film explores questions about identity and representation and ultimately asks, “What does it mean to see your city reflected back to you, but not your experience?” Modelled after the classic documentary "Los Angeles Plays Itself".
