Kim Broderick took a circuitous route to screenwriting.  More than thirty years ago, she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and a Master’s Degree in Social and Public Policy from Duquesne University. Subsequently, she enjoyed a twenty-five-year career in law enforcement. She retired as a Deputy Chief Probation Officer in San Diego County. Throughout her career, Kim valued helping others prevail, despite unfortunate and oppressive circumstances. In 2020, Kim completed OPPOSITE SIDES, her first dramatic screenplay. It placed in a number of competitions including:  a finalist at the California Women's Film Festival 2023, an official selection of The Female Eye Film Festival 2022, as well as garnering semi-finalist laurels in several other festival and screenwriting contests.   Kim is passionate and committed to writing compelling stories that explore the complexities of human relationships.  Her goal is to expose audiences to voices that have been traditionally excluded from the film industry.  Kim lives in San Diego, California.
