The Quest – Get Back Your Ex: My Interview With Influencer I’m Just Jules

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with the influencer I’m Just Jules for an extended conversation about my film The Quest – Get Back Your Ex, which is currently available on Tubi. Jules has built a following as a curious, thoughtful interviewer who isn’t afraid to look beneath the surface of trending topics. Our talk gave me a chance to explain the deeper vision behind The Quest — and why I believe stories of redemption matter now more than ever.

Why Another Love Story?

Jules began by posing the question many people have asked me: “With so many romantic films already out there, why make another?” My answer was simple: The Quest isn’t actually a romance film; it’s a redemption story. The project follows three couples — six lives — who are brought into an “impossible” environment and asked to confront the mistakes that destroyed their relationships.

I told Jules that I deliberately opened with a dramatic, almost cinematic-action scene — commandos, helicopters, an abrupt intervention — because in real life getting ex-partners to face one another can feel just as impossible. By framing the story as an adventure, I hoped to show that repentance, self-improvement and personal power are themselves adventures.

Lessons Beyond the Screen

As our conversation deepened, Jules asked whether the ideas in the film could be applied to real life. That gave me an opportunity to talk about something close to my heart: translating the show’s lessons into practical tools. Out of The Quest we are experimenting with two interactive “simulators”:

• The Relationship Time Machine, which lets people replay the moments before a fight or betrayal and rehearse a different response.

• Situations – The Relationship Flight Simulator, which places individuals in high-pressure, hypothetical scenarios to reveal their patterns — anger, honesty, patience — so they can adjust before real-life mistakes happen.

I explained to Jules that pilots train in simulators so lives aren’t lost in the air. Why shouldn’t couples train, too? These tools are still in development, but they arose naturally from the themes of the film.

Humor as a Bridge

Another part of our interview focused on humor. There’s a flamenco dance sequence in The Quest performed in oversized suits that makes audiences laugh out loud. For me, that’s intentional. As I told Jules, even our first matriarch, Sarah, laughed at the height of her struggle. Humor offers perspective and helps people heal. Relationships can be heavy; a touch of laughter can keep hope alive.

Improvisation and Authenticity

Jules was also curious about the way we worked with our actors. Instead of a rigid script, we rehearsed until the cast had absorbed the characters, then allowed them to improvise. That approach carries risks — dialogue can run long or feel unfocused — but the reward is authenticity. Scenes unfold in one take, and viewers forget they’re watching actors.

We even experienced surprises on set. At one point a real-life commando consultant reacted in an unscripted way that reshaped a key storyline. Moments like that kept the production honest and gave the finished work a sense of immediacy.

Universal Themes, Quiet Recognition

During the interview I shared with Jules how The Quest has been received. Roseanne Barr watched it and said, “I love your show. It’s fantastic. I wish I could have produced it.” Pat Boone praised its message of saving marriages and redemption. And, to our surprise, the film was listed on Rotten Tomatoes — not because of a marketing campaign but because people began talking about it. For an independent project, that recognition was humbling.

More important, though, is what the story represents. As I told Jules, The Quest is for every nation and every home. Relationships define all of us, regardless of language or background. The smallest daily gestures — a kind word, a moment of listening — can strengthen or erode a bond. By dramatizing that truth, I hope the film gives viewers a chance to reflect on their own lives.

An Invitation to Reflect

For readers who are curious, the full conversation with I’m Just Jules is available online, and The Quest – Get Back Your Ex can be found on Tubi. I’m not sharing this to advertise but because the ideas we discussed are universal. If our talk or the film prompts even one couple to pause, laugh, listen or choose a better path, it will have been worthwhile.

We all live inside the space between what we meant to do and what we actually did. Redemption is possible — but it begins with awareness and practice. My hope is that The Quest offers not just entertainment but also a mirror and a set of tools for personal growth.
