Film Information

In New Mexico, Roy, a dysfunctional Radio host is pulled from the noose by Monkey-clad Jane, who is escaping a controlling relationship with her dead mum’s toyboy husband. Together they dig up the grave of Roy’s blackbelt-in-dipshit dad to retrieve the watch they hope will fund a new life built on a shaky dream. This is beauty and the beast in reverse. Love grows between Roy and Jane, who finds a ballsy new voice from within the fur but feels she can’t come out until she is truly loved.

Reviews

“SUNLIGHT, the name of Roy’s radio station, appears on the side of the van. But it is also the light and warmth that helps two damaged people find acceptance and comfort in this tenderly told story.”

Nell Minow
AWFJ.org

“Nina Conti’s delightfully crude and disarmingly heartwarming directorial debut SUNLIGHT adds an intriguing hook to the two-wayward-souls-on-a-road-trip subgenre.”
