Eamonn Dillon

A director, writer and producer of documentary films, as well as sometime podcaster and non-fiction essay writer in my spare time. I have produced seven documentary films (six short and one feature length) mostly related to social issues or portraits of interesting people or both. As well as the behind the scenes work I also generally interview my subjects, a feature that I carry on throughout my podcasting and writing work as well. My greatest success to date has been with my most recently completed film Frank’s Road, which won the award for Best Documentary Short at the Art of Recovery Film Festival in Lake Worth, Florida, USA in November 2024.
