1. Sue Kenney's My Camino
Suddenly downsized out of the corporate telecom industry, Sue Kenney, a business woman, mother of three teenage daughters and a world class masters rower decided to embark on a journey walking 780 kilometers across the north of Spain on a quest to discover her life purpose.

When she returned Sue began telling stories about her journey and people wanted to hear more. Sue recorded a storytelling CD called Stone by Stone and has sold over 2500 copies as an independent artist. People who listened to the CD contacted Sue to ask when she would be writing a book. One year later she began work on a manuscript for a book. Within a period of 8 months the book was released by White Knight Publications ISBN 09734186-3-X with national distribution in Chapters/Indigo and independent book stores in Canada and the USA. Sue Kenney's My Camino was published in July 2004 and tells the true story of a woman confronting her deepest fear. With over 3000 books sold, it is well on its way to becoming a national best seller within the first year of publication.

2. Sue's Next Book
The Journey of the Eagle Feather
Sue has recently spent two months at an artist's retreat on Toronto's Ward's Island writing the first draft of her second book, a continuation of her further life pilgrimages, on and off the Camino: The Journey of the Eagle Feather

Prior to her leaving on a second pilgrimage, this time on the Portuguese Camino, a native friend of Sue's had a visionary dream. In the dream Sue was to take an Eagle Feather, (one of the greatest honors of First Nations traditions) to give to someone on the path. Although Sue was given a list of strict instructions and procedures to follow, whomever was to receive the spiritual talisman of the feather was going to be entirely up to her. This is another incredible journey of inspiration.

3. My Camino The Movie

While editing her first book prior to publication, Sue worked closely with Writer-Producer-Director, Bruce Pirrie. Bruce's background is as a performer and director with Second City, as well as a varied experience in writing television and feature screenplays. Because of his unique qualifications and approach to the editing process, Bruce exposed Sue to a new visual and audio interpretation of her stories and a vision for My Camino began to emerge. Sue realized that her story would make a great dramatic, feature-length, theatrical motion picture; Canadian in character but International in scope, casting, and appeal.

Thrilled with their successful working relationship on the book, Sue and Bruce immediately hatched plans to create a movie version of her story. Working together, an Outline and Treatment of the screenplay for My Camino was written.

Around the same time, Sue met with a Toronto production company who had indicated interest in producing a cinematic screenplay. They had read the book and loved the story but they warned that film projects could take four years to complete because of delays that would begin right away due to Government funding application deadlines that could take two years to come to fruition.

Despite the Producer's enthusiasm for Bruce and Sue to write the screenplay, Sue's biggest concern was the interpretation of the story. She felt an obligation to honor the Camino with respect and to protect her story and name.

Sue decided to decline the offer and take the screenplay through the development phases herself without the involvement of a production company beholden to the vagaries of Government funding.

In the meantime, the written Outline, Treatment and sample scenes provide an enticing taste to present to prospective visionary, resourceful, and highly motivated private sector producers.

Discussions are also imminent with a recently Oscar-nominated actress who is in the market for an excellent female lead role.

Sue can foresee the premiere being held at the International Toronto Film Festival in 2006. A tight timeline but definitely doable.

A vision is born.
