In the summer of 2005, "Did I Say Thousand Island?" was brought to life.
After spending most of my life working in restaurants,
I was INSPIRED to make a positive movie about working in restaurants.

An interview on NPR: Click here
led to a full page story in USA Today: Click here
I was hoping to HELP change people's attitude towards those of us in the
restaurant industry so we wouldn't hear these questions...
Why don't you get a
REAL job?
Why don't you DO something with your life?
You're JUST a waitress?
...which they don't hear them in other countries where it's a respected career.

You need to remake it! It's a great story!
Heard this for years.
Since I hadn't ever dreamed of making a movie,
I ignored it, despite knowing there were 2 more stories to tell.
There are 3 types of restaurant people.
"surprised"
"lifers"
"stone steppers"
I have a story for each type.
I planned on going down to Wilmington, North Carolina to re-shoot the first movie and make the others, but all that has changed.
It's not the time or the place, so I am going out into the world again and when I return to Canada, I will get back to work.
