“The light is not for them. It is for whoever is still out there.”
Synopsis
The keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse climbs 214 steps every dusk. Tourists photograph the view; he keeps the lamp turning for boats that no longer come.
Behind the lens
Every dusk for six weeks — locked-off time-lapses of the beam alongside the keeper's climb, cut to his heartbeat in post.
