DEVOTION Trailer (2023)

Directed by Laura Quirke
Commissioned by Regional Cultural Centre and Foggy Notions
Through the undefinable magic of humour, honesty & insight alchemised in intimate conversation, ‘Devotion’ captures a candid recorded dialogue between a mother and her adult children; revealing their curiosities about time, freedom, relationships, responsibility & the creative pursuit.
At once light-hearted and substantive, these questions of the sacrifices we make to find joy and meaning in life are woven into dreamlike sequences of a young woman living two alternate lives - in which she shares similarities of solitude, heartbreak, independence & defiance as well as strong differences - one, raising a child and the other responsible only to herself.
