An intimate and bittersweet documentary pieced together from over one hundred tapes left behind by Eoin Coffey, an aspiring filmmaker from Derry City.Determined to make his mark on the industry, Eoin threw himself into a whirlwind of low-budget productions, wild comedic misadventures, and the chaotic hustle of chasing a creative dream.
What begins as a playful chronicle of a young artist’s ambitions gradually transforms into something deeper: a portrait of a friend confronting the harsh realities of illness, personal struggle, and the fragile nature of time. Through his own lens, Eoin captured both the laughter and heartbreak of a journey that never reached the breakthrough he sought, but left behind something far more enduring — his spirit, humour, and humanity preserved on tape.
By weaving together unseen footage with the memories of those closest to him, Eoin’s Lost Footage becomes not just a story of a filmmaker who was never discovered, but a testament to friendship, creativity, and the legacy left in the frames he shot.
