About Gordon Hickey

Having spent 13 years working in TV production I decided I wanted change so I designed and set up Container Coffee on Thomas Street. Not content with just making coffee, I studied film through lockdown and wrote, directed, produced and starred in my first short film The Cure. I made a second film in 2022 and have a few more ideas ready to go.
