About Us Little

Paddy Films is a video production company located in Hoboken, NJ.  Specializing in documentaries and personal storytelling, we take pride in producing distinctive, compelling content. 

Our DOCUMEMORIES project grew out of the belief that we all have a story to tell -- but  too often that story remains undocumented and ultimately forgotten. Recording these accounts honors the lives of everyday individuals and families and serves as an important historical record.

Heather Gibbons founded Paddy Films in 2001.  Her background in video and film spans a variety of positions in commercial, corporate and documentary production, including writer, camera-operator, producer and director. In the late 1990’s, she developed skills in post-production as the Senior Account Executive for NYC’s leading video systems integrator. Her freelance camera work includes segments for Sterling Films' award-winning PBS show, "Souls of New York."

Her background also features development and fundraising for non-profit groups  -- including Habitat for Humanity, The Whole Theater and several human rights groups in Latin America. She received her B.A. from Columbia University and trained at Downtown Community Television in NYC.

Paddy Films is named in honor of her Irish grandfathers, William Cunningham and James Gibbons.
