The Light Before the Sun is a raw, thought-provoking meditation on fame, mental health, and the limits of self-help, brought to life through the nuanced script by Rob Baker. This mid-length feature follows Daniel Wolf, a celebrated self-help guru played with heartbreaking vulnerability by Jamie Thomas King, as he returns home from an international book tour to an empty house and an even emptier sense of self.
