SYNOPSIS:
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 abilities. When a
misunderstanding threatens to expel him, Glass pushes back; he plans on recreating the incident on video, with the help of a moonlighting porn actress (Ellen Toland), to clear his name. But how will he raise the film money, when his parents dismiss the scheme as another manic episode?
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. —Jay Blotcher

Aaron, who has bipolar disorder, took the last ten years of his life and compressed them into his first feature film, Inside the Rain, a 90-minute romance-drama-comedy. According to Aaron, nothing has caused him more misery than his bipolar disorder but, like Ben, he is trying to move on from hardships in the past to just enjoy myself in my current situation, .
