Didn't see that coming from writer behind film faculty

I believe the answer is:

short-sighted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'didn't see that coming' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'writer behind film faculty' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'writer' could be 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
'faculty' could be 'sight' (sight is a kind of faculty) and 'sight' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'short' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for short-sighted that I've seen is " Myopic".)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
