SESAME STREET
DIRECTOR, EDITOR & DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Directed a series of Sesame Street Videos interpreted and performed in American Sign Language. Won Gold Winner Series: Online at the Telly Awards.
I’m Jules Dameron — a Deaf, trans, queer director who lives between New York City and Washington, D.C. My work lives at the crossroads of film and theatre, where Deaf and hearing artists collaborate to create stories that are visually bold, emotionally raw, and unapologetically human. I believe in making art that opens doors, sparks connection, and redefines what representation can look like on stage and screen.
Whether I’m directing an all-Deaf musical, building worlds on a film set, or stepping into the spotlight myself, my goal is the same: to tell stories that matter — stories that make us feel seen, challenged, and alive.
