Close (2026)
Director: Robert Ripley
Cast: Dylan Blore, Kirsten Maguire
As Keane approaches thirty, he uncovers a box of negatives belonging to the father who was never there. In the red glow of a darkroom, he develops the images. He and his mother, Diane, examine distant frames from years past, and the prints reveal a life that had always remained outside the picture. Their search for closure draws them back to the shoreline, where Keane reframes what is left behind.
