A love story to the friends & family in the service industry.
Created and written by Carolyn Minor, FIFO is a web series in the tone of Superstore, but set in a restaurant. With over 20 years of experience in the foodservice industry, Carolyn captures the authentic relationships, stress and joy that only occurs at a restaurant. With her longtime friend and fellow artist, Moira Begale, Carolyn and Moira are set to produce this piece in the fall of 2022.
We want to thank Craeve & Co., Howard Street Brewing Company, On-Cue and JB Alberto's for helping us make this project a reality.
