Jules Dameron

Jules Dameron is an award-winning film director and actor who happens to be deaf and has accomplished many things out of his passion and love for creativity and changing worldwide awareness about deaf people.

Jules single-handedly directed the 7-episode Norwegian TV series, Møkkakaffe (Bad Coffee), starring Ipek Mehlum, Hauk Heyerdahl and Anne Ryg. This dramedy series was shown nationwide in Norway on the NRK Channel. Thanks to Jules’ help, this production had the highest viewing of any Døves Media/NRK production thus far. Jules also directed several episodes in Craig Fogel’s "Don’t Shoot the Messenger" series. Jules created "Reverse Polarity," a provocative series featuring the "Spring Awakening" Broadway stars, Amelia Hensley and Joshua Castille. He also took on "Crazy Town," a horror comedy written by Kyla Druckman & Carson Turell, in which Jules won an award for Best Director at the Mockfest in Los Angeles.

Jules has directed many music videos in American Sign Language using chiefly deaf talent, such as Walk the Moon’s Different Colors, Adele’s Rolling in the Deep, Bruno Mars’ Lazy Song, Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe, Gotye’s "Somebody I Used to Know," even the Frozen hit song, "Let it Go." Jules has worked with amazing known talents, such as Oscar-Winner Marlee Matlin (Children of a Lesser God), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Sean Berdy (Freeform’s Switched at Birth), Sean Forbes, Hana Hayes (FOX’s Grinder), Ed Gale (Howard the Duck, Child’s Play), and more.
