She works primarily but not exclusively in collaboration with Laurie Colbert.[2] The duo are most noted for their 1999 short film Below the Belt, which was a Genie Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 21st Genie Awards in 2000,[3] and their feature film Margarita, which won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival in 2012.[4]

Their other films have included the documentary shorts Thank God I'm a Lesbian (1992)[5] and My Feminism (1997)[6] and the feature films Finn's Girl (2007)[7] and Catch and Release (2018).[8]
