New Devonia is a non-narrative (without a story arc or narrative) ‘concept-umentary’ contrived with designs of challenging the constant need for conflict in mainstream media content and inspiring more non-narrative films without conflict. The peace-inducing nature that the film aims to achieve is intended to reduce stress and anxiety levels, functioning as a form of uplifting escapism without any negative effects. A world away from home, New Devonia is an immersive meditative experience like a moving painting or a candid moment experienced while looking through a window or people watching. In a world with so much information that at times it can be overwhelming, I invite you to take a short moment of refuge in my film.
