• To Keep the Light

First-time writer-director Erica Fae’s To Keep the Light is a quietly mesmerizing look at the lonely life of a lighthouse keeper’s wife who is struggling with her daily duties – and her sanity – while caring for her sick husband in 19th-century Maine. When a mysterious stranger washes up on shore, she is forced to confront both her past and her future.

Shot much like a haunted-house thriller, the film takes on an Ingmar Bergman feel in the second half. Though it offers few surprises once its twist is revealed, its beauty and confidently methodical pacing – not to mention a solid performance by Fae herself – make it one of the better offerings in the Narrative Features competition. It doesn’t utilize the rich Downeast New England dialect as much as it could, but it nevertheless captures the feel of the period and, in keeping with many other films at the festival, features an interesting feminist theme. – Cameron Meier

We are happy to announce that TO KEEP THE LIGHT will premiere this April at two festivals: Florida Film Festival (in the Narrative Features Competition) and Nashville Film Festival (in the New Directors Competition).

Indiewire and Moviemaker have long been fans of Florida Film Festival, including it on the list of the “Coolest Festivals in the World”.

Nashville Film Festival is one of the oldest festivals in the South, named “One of the Best Film Festival Prizes” by Film Festival Today and a top pick of Moviemaker.

We’re thrilled to begin showing our film to audiences at such warm and great festivals!

And there’s a sweet article that came out recently that contextualizes Erica’s work nicely.  Check it out!

And lastly, BRAVO to all who worked on the film!!!  Raise a glass to toast it’s opening, and here’s to more great news soon!
