Justin Tyler Close showcases the language of light

Saturated in light and steeped in intimacy, this new film from Fresh Film Director Justin Tyler Close for NOWNESS In Residence series captures the luminous heart of Athens taking viewers inside the sunlit home of life partners and Point Supreme architects Konstantinos Pantazis and Marianna Rentzou.

A poetic study in light, intimacy, and design, the film traces the gentle rhythm of a shared life shaped by architecture, creativity and playfulness.

As with his commercial work, Close’s film balances the precision of design with the unpredictability of human experience; the meeting point between light and shadow, the seen and the felt. Each frame is carefully constructed, yet open to discovery, allowing moments of truth to unfold naturally within his visual compositions. The result is a cinematic landscape that feels lived-in. Poetic, tactile, and deeply human.

Spanning commercials, documentary, and art, Close’s work blurs boundaries between disciplines, all driven by a devotion to light, emotion, and the quiet power of the most beautiful image.

Close is represented by Fresh Film in the UK and USA.
