CAA Signs ‘It’s What’s Inside’s James Morosini
EXCLUSIVE: James Morosini, the actor-filmmaker known for projects like I Love My Dad and It’s What’s Inside, has signed with CAA.
This fall, Morosini will be seen starring in Greg Jardin’s horror thriller It’s What’s Inside, which Netflix swooped on for $17M after a bidding war at the Sundance Film Festival, as we first reported. Premiering on the streamer on October 4, the film watches as a group of friends gather for a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious game that awakens long-hidden secrets, desires, and grudges.

Over the summer, Morosini was tapped by Lionsgate to direct Mommy’s Home, a psychological horror thriller for which he also penned the script, as we were first to tell you. Following a young dad whose family life becomes terrifyingly unhinged when his 24-year-old mom is unfrozen decades after being cryogenically preserved, the pic will be produced by Craig Flores, Dawn Olmstead, and Anonymous Content.
Morosini broke out in 2022 as the writer, director and star of I Love My Dad, a comedy which won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in its SXSW premiere before going on to distribution through Magnolia Pictures. In the film, based on a true story, about a father that catfishes his estranged son on Facebook, he shared the screen with Patton Oswalt, Lil Rel Howery, Amy Landecker, Claudia Sulewski and Rachel Dratch.
As an actor, Morosini has also been seen on series like The Sex Lives of College Girls, American Horror Story, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, among others. He continues to be represented by Anonymous Content, Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson, and The Lede Company.
