Creative Documentary & Film Production in Ireland
Captivating stories for the modern world
How We Work
Research
We dig deep — into subjects, stories, and local cafés — to build trust, context, and clarity.
Creation
We shape narratives that speak with soul, guided by instinct and a stubborn commitment to the craft.
Production
From remote coastlines to close-up interviews, we shoot with a mix of new tech and timeless techniques (and often a backup rain cover).
Post-Production
This is where the magic happens. We cut, colour, and finesse until every frame feels like it belongs.
What Inspires Us
Nature
We’re surrounded by it, humbled by it, and pretty sure it gets the final say on our shoot schedule.
Humanity
People. Their grit, grace, struggle, joy — we’re in it for the heart of the story.
Why We Make What We Make
We want to make work that matters. Stories that are immersive, visual, and honest. Work that sparks conversations around the dinner table — or at least makes someone pause mid-scroll and think "Huh."
Whether it’s a doc that dives deep or a short that hits hard, we’re here to do it with care, creativity, and a bit of edge.
Join Us
Come along for the ride. Watch our films, share our stories, or just say hello.
We’re building something meaningful out west — and we’d love you to be part of it.
Who We Are
We’re Gone West Media — small, salt-aired, and storytelling-obsessed.
Based in Lahinch, Co. Clare (where the Atlantic gives West Clare its edge). We’re a documentary and post-production company dedicated to crafting meaningful, beautifully made stories. We believe in the power of film to open minds, stir emotions, and maybe even shift a few worldviews — no pressure.
How It Started
Gone West began with two filmmakers, a few cameras, and one slightly overambitious idea: that honest, creative storytelling could do more than entertain — it could make people feel something real.
Armed with curiosity, caffeine, and an occasional raincoat, we set out to tell the kind of stories that stick with you — the kind that live a little longer than the scroll.
