When Morning Comes is a 2022 Canadian-Jamaican drama film, written and directed by Kelly Fyffe-Marshall. The film centres on Jamal (Djamari Roberts), a young boy in Jamaica who is processing his uncertain feelings about his mother Neesha's (Shaquana Wilson) decision to send him to live in Canada with his grandmother following his father's death.[1]
In May 2022, following his win of the Toronto Film Critics Association's Clyde Gilmour Award, filmmaker David Cronenberg announced that he had selected Fyffe-Marshall as the recipient of the "pay it forward" grant, awarding Fyffe-Marshall $50,000 in post-production services toward the film.[2]
The film premiered in the Discovery program at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2022.[3]
