Welcome to the FF slate to the 10-min documentary PAUL COORE: A VERY LUCKY MAN from director Chris Eyre.

The film is a deeply personal insight into how one man survived a childhood of abuse and thrived as an adult by holding onto, rather than letting go of, his anger.

FF's Mark Brennan calls it: “ a powerful documentary that will resonate with many programmers.”

Director: Chris Eyre Film
Producer: Chris Eyre, Paul Coore
DOP: Philipp Morozov
Editor: Chris Eyre
Sound Design: Chris Eyre
Composer: Martin Walsh

Cast: Paul Coore
