Two very different movies from different eras but both have two things in common, love and compassion. Who doesn't love a great love story filled with overcoming vast obstacles using compassion? Love and compassion is what pulled me to these movies initially and it's what keeps me going back to watch them over and over. My goal is to create projects that will trigger the same reaction."Besides being on production sets, Kerry-Ann lends a hand to various organizations in support of military families, as well as youth mentorship.
