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.  She is currently directing a documentary about waterfront development in Jersey City, NJ.
