Following a year as a critical darling on the festival circuit, OUT IN THE DARK is finally coming to US theaters on September 27th. The film had its world premiere at the 2012 Toronto Film Festival, where The Hollywood Reporter praised the "gripping feature debut" as "sensual and suspenseful." Out in the Dark went on to become an audience and critical favorite, eventually receiving seven Audience Awards for Best Picture at film festivals around the world as well as jury prizes ranging from Best First Feature to Best Narrative.

For his performance, Aloni took home the Audience Award for Best Supporting Actor at FilmOut San Diego. Following Out in the Dark's screening at the Torino Film Festival, Rapporto Confidenziale hailed the duo as having given "two genuinely brilliant performances." The Toronto Star said, "Nicholas Jacob as Nimr and Michael Aloni as Roy demonstrate great screen chemistry as the star-crossed lovers in a film that challenges the Arabic proverb: love finds its way."
