• Kelly & Company – Inside Video Footage

  We are fortunate to have had a producer, Brad Hurtado, shoot some inside footage of the Kelly & Company staff while preparing the show. Many hard working people behind the scenes made the wonderful Detroit home-grown show possible. We were blessed to work with two wonderful stars of the show – Marilyn Turner and John Kelly.
