Life-Saving Station Doc
A screening of “Ocean Keeper,” a documentary about the Amagansett Life-Saving Station, will be held at LTV Studios in Wainscott tomorrow at 6 p.m. Produced and directed by Eileen Olivieri Torpey, the film blends archival and contemporary footage to detail the station’s 110-year history, during which it was moved away from and back to its location on Atlantic Avenue.
Isabel Carmichael and Deborah Carmichael are co-producers of the film, which was an official selection of the 2012 Hamptons International Film Festival. After the death in 2006 of their father, Joel Carmichael, who had rescued the station from demolition and renovated it for use as a family home, they and their brother, David Carmichael, donated it to East Hampton Town for preservation.
