Award-Winning Filmmaker Devin Boss to Present “What We Lost Along the Way” in Yachats

Yachats, OR — View the Future, in partnership with Yachatians for Social Justice, invites the community to a special screening and conversation with filmmaker Devin Boss, featuring his award-winning documentary “What We Lost Along the Way” at 2 p.m., April 26, at the Yachats Commons.

The short film follows Boss and two close friends on a journey along the Oregon Coast between Yachats, Newport, and Florence, exploring themes of friendship, identity, and belonging in the outdoors. Through striking coastal imagery and candid conversations, the film captures the emotional and cultural connections people form with nature while examining who feels welcome in outdoor spaces.

Directed by Boss, founder of the Portland-based production company North East Productions, the film has received international recognition, including a Best Shorts Award at the global Best Shorts Competition and praise at film festivals including the Portland Film Festival.

The event highlights the importance of inclusive storytelling and the role outdoor spaces play in shaping community, identity, and shared experiences. The evening aims to spark thoughtful conversation about representation in nature, access to public lands, and the healing power of time spent outdoors.

Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from Devin Boss in a discussion about the inspiration behind the film, the filmmaking process, and how storytelling can help broaden perspectives about who belongs in the outdoors.

This program is part of View the Future’s ongoing series of events exploring the cultural, environmental, and community connections that shape the landscapes of the Oregon Coast.
