Inspired by true stories of women lighthouse keepers, Abbie Moore is a composite character giving voice to their largely unknown experience. Working in isolation and under extreme conditions, these women  who inherited their jobs from infirm or deceased husbands or fathers  were trailblazers, embodying feminism long before the word existed and far afield from the urban, intellectual circles that spawned the womens rights movement. Abbies strength is stoic and sensual, yet not packaged in sexuality. Nuanced, human and true to her time, shes a female lead rarely depicted on screen.

Shot on an island off the coast of northern Maine, To Keep the Light reveals a landscape of stark, aching beauty, and brings us to the inner life of a woman who is, literally and figuratively, at the edge of society.
