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. Snowed in, with his family away and his usual support system out of reach, Daniel must face the anxieties he has taught others to master. The film sets off with a familiar, well understood struggle: being forced to face ourselves without the distractions we so carefully construct.
