When The Sea Calls - Clovelly North Devon

"When The Sea Calls" is a film about what the ocean means to us, told through the introduction of 3 people who are drawn to it. 🧜🏼‍♀️
Filmed in 2012 in Clovelly, North Devon, England.
*Finally uploaded to KZbin in 2024 after music copyright restrictions were relaxed*
We love you MOBY!
What is it that draws us to the sea?
Why might we find ourselves staring out into the blue?
Set in an idyllic fishing village on the North Devon coast, "When The Sea Calls" introduces the characters who might have the answers to these questions; a retired fisherman now ferrying tourists around the bay, a free spirited ocean swimmer who takes a dip every day come rain or shine AND a superstitious lobster fisherman from a long line of seafarers.
In a world filled with mostly bad news this feel good film explores another way of life.
Shot on a tiny budget, for the love of it. A camera, prime lenses (vintage glass), zoom h4n, a tripod & me, Ant.
Canon 5D.
28mm Olympus Zuiko
50mm Pentax SMC Takumar
85mm Carl Zeiss Jena

Hi folks, Thankyou so much for all the lovely comments, and for watching this little film. In such a fast paced world, it’s great to see that there’s appetite for long form, more sedate films. I have some similar projects on the go and can’t wait to share them with you soon. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE. 🙏🏻 Much love. ❤

In 1971 I was 11 years old and spent a night in the hotel with my parents and brother. Mum from Gloucester and Canadian father. Beautiful fishing village and i hope it never changes.😊

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Fantastic memories! Thankyou for watching. The village doesn’t look like changing any time soon 🐟 🧜🏻‍♀️

[@ahbenjamin2889]

Wonderful video, I noticed the date of it is 2012. I truly hope that the individuals portrayed are still with us. The small villages and their inhabitants throughout the world could show us city folks what is important and what is not.

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Fantastic. Thankyou for watching. 🧜🏻‍♀️

[@thehealthjunkie8996]

Beautiful, these people have the best answer to living a healthy, happy, peaceful life. Beautiful. I lived in Clovelly in Australia, I think this place looks much nicer.

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thankyou for watching, and thanks for your lovely comment. I know Clovelly in Sydney. Once fished off the rocks in the bay. Never caught anything 🐟

[@fatfish6839]

1 of my favourite places on this earth ..... love Clovelly ❤️

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Ours too 🍻

What a beautiful short film, lovely music as well. I live on the Welsh coast, so I really appreciate this. My wife and I are planning a British road trip for this summer, hopefully we can find some more beautiful places to visit.

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thanks for your kind comments. If camping, I can highly recommend Stoke Barton Farm, near Hartland, nr Clovelly. Starry skies and campfires…perfect

[@TBK1966.]

@TimeandTideMediaLtd Amazing thank you.

[@StephenGrew]

It's very powerful, beautifully powerful! I decided not to become a full time fisherman, I did a spell as a shrimper in the Ribble estuary, amazing place, sailed, sculled used the fast flowing currents, then fave it up to become a full time potter and then gave thst up to tour the world as a performing pianist. I live the sea, now I swim in the sea all year round and Im in my sixties...tis a good Life!

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thankyou for watching and for your kind comments. This sounds like a life well lived sir. Keep on swimming 🏊‍♂️

[@philipjames8012]

What a fantastic short film. As both a recreational boat fisherman and a lover of the Bristol Channel and North Devon Coast, it was fascinating to momentarily connect with the local way of life and their own deep connection with the sea.

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thanks for this lovely comment. It is really appreciated. 🌊 delighted you enjoyed it 🐬

[@martinkavanagh196]

About 1964 a mate & I slept in my mini-van in a dark carpark - in the morning looking over the edge we discovered Clovelly, way below, and scrambled down a path behind folk's gardens disturbing a few wakeful cats. You've brought back such memories. - Are the donkies still used on those steep cobbles?

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Ha, what a story! Perhaps you were on the Hobby Drive. It is closed to regular traffic now. Yes, the donkeys are still there, but they are very much a tourist attraction only. Thanks for sharing!

[@ferry6497]

Beautiful! Every word spoken is true. I’m fortunate to live by the sea, let my dog run on the beach and take my sailboat to the Frisians islands and build boats 😊

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Perfect life, ideal!! Thankyou so much for watching.

[@grigorisgirl]

Live further up the coast at Porlock and after ten years I still love to pull the curtains in the morning and see the sea in all its moods. Nice film👍🏼

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thanks for watching. Love porlock. A gorgeous spot 🌊

You have the crazy hill that’s very narrow if I remember.

Absolutely!! 🐟 St Helen’s, Tasmania looks lovely.

What a fantastic film. A beautiful part of the world I’ve been so lucky to have visited many times. The Devon and Cornwall coast is breathtaking. Thank you.

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thankyou for your lovely comments. It means a lot. Yes, there’s nowhere quite like it here

[@zivabrogan5807]

Been their, several years ago...having never had a place to call home, I just kicked myself for my ignorance, of not knowing it was their at 60 yes of age...I could've easily settled their as a young man! A beautiful place!!!

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

It’s a unique place, with some great people

[@richardingram2374]

Liz sounds and looks like one of the nicest and most genuine of souls. Lovely video and very evocative of lost memories as a kid being by the sea.

Great little film. My ancestors would have stopped off as Bristol Pilots for shelter and supplies in Clovelly although Ilfracombe was a favourite! Listening to the fisherman about respecting the sea brings it home… My 3rd great grandfather was lost just around the bay off Ilfracombe in January 1849 with 3 other men. The village of Pill, Somerset which was home to the Bristol Pilots since 1497 lost many men and boys whilst seeking for ships in the Bristol Chanel. His pilot skiff was called the Echo and his name was James Cox. I’m heading down channel in the summer on my own boat from Pill so I’ll be sure to stop off weather permitting for a few jars in the pub. ⚓️🦈

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

The Red Lion will certainly welcome you with open arms. 🍻 Fabulous insight, thankyou. If you know the coast, as you clearly do, you’ll know the safe havens when the weather freshens. Always welcome in Clovelly ❤

Enjoyed the video, i visited this village a few times 25 years ago, i see that cobbled street still looks on the hard side (stoping for a pint or 2 made it esier on way back up)

[@TimeandTideMediaLtd]

Thankyou. Yes, the pebbled / cobbled streets are still a challenge, especially after a couple of jars!
