Director Daniel Adams’ “The Lightkeepers”

Reclusive lighthouse keepers find their woman-free utopia shattered when two attractive women move into a nearby cottage for the summer. Adams describes this as a film that hearkens back to old Hollywood, to old-fashioned filmmaking like that of Frank Capra and John Ford, “a time when the motion pictures were character driven and story driven. It’s almost like Hollywood is a pressure cooker that’s building and building, and one film has to top the next film with budget and special effects. There has to be a release valve. I wanted to go back to filmmaking where character can carry the film and actors have the opportunity to inhabit these characters’ lives.”

The film is an adult romantic comedy, and, at times, perhaps the film reveals too much consciousness of modern values. But the women characters in Adam’s film strive to be independent and taken seriously, and yet are entirely in and of their worlds.
