Kim is currently producing and directing two films, Advice from Five Extraordinary Women a documentary showing uneasy stories about successful women’s journeys that are not perfect. The idea came to her when her daughter was trying to find a job out of college; her daughter felt pressure that she wouldn’t select the “perfect” job, when life throws twists, curves and turns that a person never expects. And life provides opportunities one would never expect. The documentary is a story to her daughter and will be a debut at the Wisconsin Film Festival in spring 2013.

The second film is a short animated film called “Alex Writes a Book”, in this short animated film, 8 year old Alex tells an animated character Nate, how Nate helped write his first children’s book.
