A BAFTA winner for the short film The Banker starring Michael Sheen, Broad is also on a mission to help the next generation of filmmakers in town try to see the dreams become reality.

For Southern Cross Cinema Manager, Lauren Frith, having Kelly in town is a real bonus.

“Kelly has done some remarkable things in her career and worked with some incredibly talented and amazing people,” said Ms Frith.

“Some of those she has worked with include Emma Watson, JJ Field, Tom Burke and Benedict Cumberbatch among many others.

“I reccommend to anyone interested in film to come along.”

Broad also produced the judgement day comedy, One of Those Days, starring Sir Derek Jacobi and Joanna David, with BBC Films. 

Her other short form work consisted of commercials and promos – including documentaries for Greenpeace and a short film shot in Pakistan.  

Her first feature film was Third Star, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, JJ Field and Tom Burke, which premiered as the Closing Night Gala at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2010. 

Her second feature film is Everyone’s Going to Die which premiered at SXSW and was nominated for the Michael Powell Award at Edinburgh. 

It is now screening at film festivals around the world, and has opened in France and Argentina and the UK. 

Her new film Firebird has just been awarded development funding with the BFI.

Together with producer Mike Morrison she is working on a number of independent film projects including Slow Light by writer/director Richard Fenwick, and an activism documentary called The Climb.  

She is also a patron of Wait But Why and an honorary board member of the Rochester Museum of Fine Art. 

“And soon she will be in Young after kindly agreeing to donate her time back to us and her home town,” said Frith.

“She’s very charming and it promises to be a great night.”
