A documentary about life off-grid in Devon and much more…

Maverick soulmates Ged and Dave are on a mission through the winding lanes and hidden tracks of North Devon, to record the lives and experiences of people living without mains electricity. Filming where is heaven? over ten years, they captured not only the beauty of this often harsh environment but also the spirit of the wonderful off-grid characters who inhabit it. A diverse collection of people whose stories at first appear meandering tributaries but quickly swell to become an intricate weave of philosophies and vibrant wit, uniting around our common search for happiness.

This rich tapestry of personalities, stunning landscapes and the musical accompaniment of Cosmo Sheldrake combine to deliver where is heaven?’s unique and extraordinary soul. Electrically charged with a seductive power not supplied by the National Grid.

A perfect antidote to the intensity of life in the modern

This 2023 winner of the Brighton Cine City Best film Audience Award is now following in the footsteps of previous winner ‘The Nettle Dress’, becoming a similar grassroots phenomenon, both locally and nationally.
