Further to Ann's achievements, in 1993 a British film producer Colin Nutley was making a film about a young Swedish couple involved in a ballroom dancing-love story. The story was filmed in their home town of Stockholm, Blackpool and Barbados. While filming in Blackpool, Colin Nutley was taking a stroll along the promenade when, as he passed a record shop, he heard a young lady singing. He was so taken by the singers voice he stopped to listen, then decided to go in and ask who the singer was, to be told it was Ann Breen.
So impressed by her beautiful voice he bought the C.D. Later he contacted her record company and asked if Ann would sing two songs in his new movie.
Sweet Sixteen was used as the theme song to the film and a compilation album of the movie was released. Abba, Eddie Grant and Neil Diamond were some of the tracks on the album. Sweet Sixteen, to Ann's delight, was released as the single.
Ann has enjoyed an exciting time appearing on Swedish T.V. promoting the film, C.D's, Videos etc. throughout Europe.
The movie "SISTA DANSEN" (THE LAST DANCE) was shown at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. Another fine achievement in Ann's successful singing career.
