Actress Kelly Blackmon teases that the film has a “complex character-driven and profoundly personal story” with “its own unique voice” in the genre. She praises the “powerful team” of actors prepared to vividly bring this disturbing narrative to life through their raw, committed performances.
At the center is Isabella Jaimie as Cassie, a college student plagued by paralyzing night terrors that manifest visions of a demonic entity. These waking nightmares are revealed to be manifestations of Cassie’s suppressed memories of childhood abuse. Jaimie expresses enthusiasm for tackling such heavy, “significant” subject matter, revealing she’s been rigorously preparing to do justice to the “challenging role” of this psychologically tormented young woman.
As Cassie undergoes therapy to unravel the truth behind the harrowing visions, her night terrors intensify and blur the lines between dreaming and reality. Jaimie cites the film’s “compelling storyline” that forces the protagonist to confront her traumatic past as a major draw, along with the chance to collaborate with such a “dedicated crew” committed to telling this “impactful story” unflinchingly.
For actress Erin Lucky Apacible, being involved with “Inner Child” represents an invaluable opportunity to gain firsthand experience in psychological drama. After an “engaging internship” exposed her to the passion driving this project, she jumped at the chance to return and contribute to bringing such a “related” and meaningful story to life.
