INSIDE THE RAIN - ERIC ROBERTS and AARON FISHER INTERVIEWS

/

Ellen Toland and Aaron Fisher, Inside The Rain

Inside the Rain is a heartwarming and important new film now available on Amazon Prime Video.

The award-winning movie centers on bipolar college student, Ben Glass, (Aaron Fisher) who is expelled from school and determined to prove his innocence with the help of a moonlighting sex worker, he meets Emma Taylor, (Ellen Toland). The film also stars Rosie Perez, Eric Roberts, Catherine Curtin and Paul Schulze.  Although INSIDE THE RAIN is a work of fiction, Fisher, who suffers from bipolar disorder, took the last 10 years of his life and infused his own experiences into this 90- minute movie.    

Eric Roberts as Monty in, Inside The Rain

College film student Benjamin Glass (played by writer-director Aaron Fisher) has it all: ADHD, OCD, borderline personality. And he’s also bipolar. But Glass is more than his diagnoses - he prefers the term “recklessly extravagant” - and he’s determined to prove his genius. When a misunderstanding threatens to expel him from college, Glass pushes back; he plans on recreating the incident on video with the help of a moonlighting sex worker (Ellen Toland), to clear his name. But how will he raise the money for the film, when his parents dismiss the scheme as another manic episode? 

Writer/Director Aaron Fisher

INSIDE THE RAIN is a wincingly funny rom-com-drama, anchored by off- kilter performances by co-stars Fisher and Toland. The colorful ensemble cast includes Rosie Perez as a tough love shrink, Eric Roberts as an unhinged film producer, and Catherine Curtin and Paul Schulze as the long-suffering parents. The ultimate underdog film and proof that if you believe in yourself, anything is possible.

INSIDE THE RAIN is produced by George LaVoo and presented by Act 13 in association with Killer Films. It is executive produced by Christine Vachon, Danny Fisher and Javier Gonzalez. The director of photography is Josh Fisher.
