“It was incredibly defining to have spent my formative years growing up in regional Victoria and I couldn’t imagine making this film anywhere else. It’s a part of Australia we don’t often see on screen and I’m very grateful to have had the support to shoot here – both from VicScreen and the incredible local cast, crew, and wider community,” said Charles Williams in a press release.
Inside is described as a coming-of-age film about Mel Blight, who is transferred from juvenile to adult prison, and “taken under the wing of both Mark Shepard (Cosmo Jarvis), Australia’s most despised criminal, and Warren Murfett (Guy Pearce), a soon-to-be-a-paroled inmate. As a paternal triangle grows between them, we see that even the worst of men have a little bit of good inside that will be their undoing.”
Inside is produced by Marian Macgowan (The Great) and Kate Glover (Foe), with Thomas M. Wright executive producing. Bonsai Films is distributing for Australia and New Zealand with Goodfellas (Wild Bunch) handling international sales.
