Movies are produced locally on a regular basis. Johnny Hickey's film, OxyMorons, is not different in that regard. However, Hickey, a Charlestown native, lived his story and wants it to help other people. He was addicted to Oxycontin, became a drug dealer, and went to jail. He's been drug free since 2003 and now tells his story to anyone or everyone he can. He wants people to learn from him. "Hopefully a movie like mine can scare somebody not to go off and do drugs...And if you're on the verge of trying to get clean, this might push you into getting clean," he said. OxyMorons debuts February 4 at Showcase Cinemas in Revere. [WCVB]
