Shownotes

Director Rachael Cain's SOMNIUM follows the harrowing story of a young woman trying to figure things out. After a painful breakup, Gemma moves to Los Angeles with the hopes of making it big. To get on her feet, she takes a job working the overnight shift at SOMNIUM - a mysterious, experimental sleep clinic where dreams are made real. Meanwhile, Gemma throws herself into the cutthroat world of Hollywood auditions. But as the pressure to succeed mounts, she begins to experience strange and unsettling phenomena, and soon finds herself trapped in a nightmarish spiral as she discovers a darkness lurking within the clinic walls. Director Racheal Cain stops by to talk about her feature film debut, SOMNIUM, and the thirteen year long and winding road of production, completion and now, it's theatrical release, as well as the inspiration for her sharply observed tale of a woman in distress.
