Jules of Light and Dark is a 2018 American drama film directed by Daniel Laabs. It was screened at NewFest's 2018 film festival[1] where it won the Grand Jury Prize for Best U.S. Narrative Feature.[2] [3]
Two young lovers, Maya and Jules, are found wrecked on the side of the road after a party by a loner roughneck, Freddy. During rehab, their relationship falls apart, and Maya forms an unlikely friendship with Freddy.
Jules of Light and Dark has been well-received at various film festivals, including NewFest, Outfest, and Austin Film Festival. Stephen Saito wrote “Jules of Light and Dark is the rare film where you not only witness a meaningful change for the characters, but suspect they’ll continue to evolve long after the cameras stop rolling, if for no other reason than you feel as if you’ve experienced a change yourself from seeing it."[4]
