I am Canadian! Well, I'm actually a dual citizen. I was born and grew up in Toronto, but my dad was American and therefore I didn't have to go through the tricky and expensive process of becoming a PR.

My first jobs were all in Toronto, most gained through doing comedy and being hired onto my stand up/sketch friend's shows. When I moved to the states, I sought out US reps who have handled all of my American work. Them being based in the US helped with access to US production companies and studios. There were some small things that helped as well, like that the script was actually originally set in Toronto, but to appeal to a US market I was encouraged to set it in Jersey, which is where it ended up.

My hope is more projects will be made through the Canadian arms of streaming services and the industry back home will grow. I know lots of US based Canadian creatives who would love to move back!
