Wasaga is a 1994 Canadian drama film, directed by Judith Doyle.^[1] The film stars Louise Lilliefeldt as Rebecca, a video artist from Toronto who is working on a project in Wasaga Beach; she takes driving lessons from driving instructor Judy (Tracy Wright) because of the town's much more car-oriented lifestyle, only to find Judy becoming a love interest.^[2]

The cast also includes Daniel MacIvor as David, the gay owner of an antique store,^[3] and Andrew J. Paterson of the punk rock band The Government as an unnamed musician performing his own band's 1980 single "Flat Tire".^[2]

The film premiered at the 1994 Toronto International Film Festival.^[4] The film did not receive widespread commercial distribution, but it received a followup screening at the National Film Board of Canada's John Spotton Theatre in 1995 as part of the Women on Women screening series.^[5]

Wright was one of the runners-up for Best Actress in Take One's 1995 Toronto Film Critics Poll.^[6]
