Founder
Irish. In his seventies. Measured, thoughtful, quietly authoritative — a filmmaker who believes documentary is a public trust.

Eamon Kiernan was born in Ireland at a time when the country's public conversation was still shaped as much by pulpit and print as by broadcast. He came of age watching how stories — told well or poorly — could steer a society's moral imagination.
He spent decades working across reporting, cinematography, and long-form documentary, often in the unglamorous middle of projects: verifying claims, reading filings, waiting for access that sometimes never arrived. Colleagues describe him as patient in a way that is not passive — a temperament that treats time as a tool of truth.
In his seventies, he founded Net Truth Cinema as a deliberate late act: not a career move, but a consolidation of values. The studio reflects his belief that the public deserves filmmaking willing to be boring when boring is honest — and brave when bravery is the only ethical option.
“Truth does not shout. It waits.”
“Power rarely needs to hide. It only needs you to look elsewhere.”
“We do not make films to tell people what to think. We make them so people can finally see.”
Dear viewer,
If you have found us, you are likely tired — not of learning, but of being managed. Tired of narratives that arrive pre-packaged, of outrage used as a business model, of complexity sold as a reason to stop thinking.
Net Truth Cinema exists for a simpler reason: the world is difficult enough without additional confusion. Our job is not to replace your judgment with ours. It is to help you see what has been hidden, minimized, or moved out of frame.
That requires craft, yes — but also humility. We will fail sometimes. We will revise. We will listen when we are wrong. What we will not do is treat you as a target audience to be captured.
Film is a powerful medium. We intend to use that power with care.
