THE RESTAURANT

'The Restaurant' is the first series I created/wrote/directed/edited after leaving Second City Chicago. Within a few months of its creation, the series amassed 52,000 subscribers and 10 million views on YouTube alone, along with 20 million+ views on Facebook. It was quickly sold to Lionsgate TV and optioned by Comedy Central for pilot development.

​This is the fifth episode of the series. I wanted a short video with shareability that had quick cuts and a hashtag that viewers, especially in the service industry, would be able to latch onto and also partake in. It made the hashtag #gtfoh synonymous with the restaurant world and created non-stop interaction on social media which continues to this day.
