Jules of Light and Dark at Outfest

Jules of Light and Dark screens at Outfest, Los Angeles' premiere queer film festival, this July! In this NewFest Grand Jury Award winner, girlfriends Maya and Jules total their car after a night of backwoods raving. They’re rescued from the wreckage by Freddy, a divorced oil worker whose stoic facade crumbles as he begins to confront his repressed desires through conversations with Maya. Through the lens of Maya and Freddy’s burgeoning friendship, Daniel Laabs’ first feature solidly articulates the universality of queer loneliness and uncertainty across genders and generations.
