Keep the Lights On | A short film on Port Rexton's revival

2017 could be argued as a version of late 1960’s San Francisco for the Trinity Bight, and the hot bed for this summer of love was a brew pub in Port Rexton. The buzz felt new for many, but through interviewing a small handful of local residents, we learned this has been building for some time.

What once was a plan to unplug from our contract work and take some pseudo-vacation time to shoot scenics in the area, it quickly morphed into an editorial effort about the neo bay tourism phenomenon, and became our short film “Keep the Lights On”.

The people behind Fisher’s Loft, Port Rexton Brewing, and the English Harbour Arts Centre are not only passionate about the organizations they represent, they are pioneering an outport renaissance, and proving that even three hours from town, if you build it, they will come.
