INNER CHILD: A young woman struggles with sleep paralysis and visions of a dark figure in a new horror film gearing up for production this spring. Here are details on Inner Child, an upcoming feature from writer / director Natalie Rodriguez (The Extraordinary Ordinary, Howard Original):

"Cassie, a twenty-year-old college student, has the same recurring night terror (sleep paralysis), where she sees a dark figure. When a particular night terror becomes too real, taking over her physically, she reaches out to her longtime therapist, Dr. Reid, for guidance. Cassie hopes that Dr. Reid will help put an end to her sleep paralysis. Soon, Cassie comes to terms with reality when she makes a startling connection between her sleep paralysis and childhood trauma. Reopening unresolved wounds, she reckons with the ongoing fear of reverting to the terrified girl she once was. Cassie faces the difficult choice to either cave into her past and relive her horrific childhood trauma or break the toxic family cycle and stand up for herself."

Isabella Jaimie, Felissa Rose, Scout Taylor-Compton, John Karna, Isabella Fell, and John Karna are set to star. The production team includes Natalie Rodriguez (Writer, Director, Producer), Peter M. Olsen (Executive Producer), Alex Sarkissian (Producer), Isabella Jaimie (Producer), Larry Minion (Producer), Sylvia Valdez (Associate Producer), John Piccarreto (Associate Producer), Paul Wiley (Co-Producer & Composer), Kevin Keeling (UPM, 1AD, and Line Producer)
