COLIN BRODERICK was raised Irish Catholic in the heart of Northern Ireland. In 1988, at the age of twenty, he moved to the Bronx to drink, work construction, and pursue his dream of becoming a writer. 

Broderick's most recent work includes *A Bend in the River*, an exploration of lingering trauma. The film is set in County Tyrone, Broderick's Irish home region, and features actors John Duddy and Kathy Kiera Clarke, with stunning cinematography by Shane Kelly.

He has also recently re-released *Writing Irish in New York*, a collection of essays by some of the most talented Irish American writers, reflecting on their literary lives in America's greatest city.

Currently, Broderick is working on a script and seeking funding—along with some assistance—to bring his vision of the *Catalpa Rescue* movie to life.
