Keepers of the Light started off as a college project while being a student at Temple University. The film consisted of several former keepers and preservationists from the Northeast Coast and Great Lakes. While working on the film, I became friends with a couple of the keepers and after graduating, they asked that I expand the project and cover all parts of the country.

During the winter of 2008-2009, I have been able to interview nearly 25 lighthouse keepers and preservationists and still have a number of former keepers to go. I am currenlty planning a late spring trip to Florida, Arazona, Louisiana, Washington, Oregon and Michigan in order to meet with more lighthouse keepers. When all is said and done, there could be as many as 40 lighthouse keepers and preservationist.
