- NoteDirector's Bio: Ciarán Hickey is an emerging and award-winning film director/writer based in Co. Kildare, Ireland. A First Class Honours graduate of the esteemed National Film School IADT, his work has shown all over the world at various prestigious film festivals hosted in the likes of Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London, Chicago, Poland and all across his native Ireland. His graduate short film – The Boy Murder, a dark dramatic thriller – had its festival premiere at the renowned Camerimage Film Festival in 2015 and would go on to secure him Best Student Director at the first inaugural CPI & ICAD Young Directors Awards (now the Emerging Directors Awards) in Dublin, 2016. A year later, he – in partnership with Bear Print Media – received funding through Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to realise the fantasy short film The Lighthouse. About this time, production completed on a separate short film of his, drama Just Fine. Both shorts would enjoy successful festival runs, with Just Fine being selected for the RTÉ Player in 2020 and The Lighthouse being nominated for Best Cinematography at the Fastnet Film Festival in 2019. Terrible Things, his latest short film, signals a return to dark sci-fi and themes of horror in his storytelling. Self-funded and produced on a budget of 3’000 Euros (3’476 US Dollars) the short has gone on to great success, premiering at the renowned LA Shorts International Film Festival in mid-2021 and subsequently playing at a host of prestigious film events including the Galway Film Fleadh, Frightfest, FilmQuest, the Telluride Horror Show, and the 66th Cork International Film Festival to name but a few.
