As a Producer, Kendra has two feature films in development – The Burial and Eden. The Burial is a 1970s-set psychological thriller; after being arrested for a violent crime and serving a thirteen-year prison sentence, Eleanor Loach returns home to exact revenge upon her identical twin, Gertrude, who may or may not have betrayed her to the authorities years prior. The Burial received development support from Telefilm Canada. Eden is a contemporary police procedural wherein two homicide detectives investigate the mass suicide of a doomsday cult found inside a shipping container at the Port of Vancouver.
