A new documentary by Devon filmmaker Gerard Bryan explores the lives of people living off-grid in North Devon. Titled 'Where is Heaven,' the film features interviews with over 30 individuals who have chosen an alternative lifestyle away from mainstream society.
Bryan, who has worked on TV series such as Babylon and films including Penelope and The Sweeney, spent ten years creating the documentary. He describes the project as a story that 'began as a small tributary and became a powerful confluence.' The film highlights a community where social media and daily formalities are absent.
The documentary includes an evocative musical score by Cosmo Sheldrake and presents a diverse range of characters who have embraced a nature-focused existence. The debut screening will take place outdoors at The Poltimore Arms in Yarde Down, Exmoor, on Saturday 29 July at 9pm.
Attendees are advised to bring their own chairs, with camping facilities and refreshments available at the venue. The screening offers a unique opportunity to witness the hidden lives of Devon's off-grid community.
