Filmmaker David Wittkower, a Rockport native, is looking for help on his next feature.“I am producing a new documentary about the German U-boats that patrolled off our waters,” Wittkower wrote on the Rockport Stuff Facebook page. “I’m looking for help in finding anyone still alive who remembers seeing anything, any Coast Guard or fishermen who dealt with U-boats, any observers such as the tower in Halibut Point.
Over 400 ships were sunk (by the U-boats off the Atlantic coast), many within sight of land. Any help would be appreciated.”Wittkower’s last feature, 2018’s “Dead in the Water,” profiled the Gloucester fishing industry. This past month, it won Best Conservation Film at Connecticut’s Mystic Film Festival.
