In 1993 Surjik made his feature film debut with "Wayne's World 2", starring fellow Canadian Mike Myers. He has recently teamed up again with producer Barnaby Thompson at Ealing Studios to make "I Want Candy" which was tipped to be the surprise hit of 2007 but was widely panned by critics with few positive reviews and performed poorly at the box office.

For television, he has directed films such as the 1996 "Grand Prix "Cinéma Tout Ecran" award-winningfn|2 "Little Criminals", the Emmy-nominated "Weapons of Mass Distraction", starring Ben Kingsley and Gabriel Byrne, and the CBC movie "Intelligence".

Surjik on directing: "My directing style is determined by the script– not by the type of shoes that I prefer. I therefore attempt to reinforce what is on the page and I keep my tube-top fetishes to myself".fn|3
