K.S. Haddock was born in Seattle and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After gaining a bachelor's in Psychology from U.C. Irvine, he moved back to San Francisco to pursue a writing career. He published the Gen-X novel, The Patricidal Bedside Companion, in 1994 through St. Martin's Press. To support himself and his writing, music and acting pursuits, he worked in advertising as an award winning copy writer before becoming a digital artist. In the 2000's, he finalized for Project Greenlight, adapted and directed Sartre's 'No Exit' as a low budget indie feature, and most recently won a Best Of Fringe Award for his rock opera, Thanatics, at the San Francisco Fringe Festival. Presently, he has just completed the independent film, Weekend King. K.S. went on to win two more Best of Fringe awards: 2009's Hell, the Musical (dark musical comedy based on Sartre's 'No Exit'.) and 2017's Hitler in the Green Room, a musical comedy about a drag queen Hitler impersonator. In 2019, he joined the Art Department as an Art Director at Industrial Light and Magic and contributed to The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. As of 2020, he currently lives in San Francisco.
