Katie Cassidy has been cast in the lead role of the psychological thriller Nanny Cam, set to begin filming next month in New Jersey.
As per the Deadline, the film centers around Cassidy's character, a new mother who battles her dark ancestral history while trying to protect her infant daughter from what she believes is a malevolent demon. As she struggles with these fears, her own mental health is called into question.
The film is written and directed by Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley, best known for her time on MTV's Jersey Shore. Nanny Cam marks Farley's sophomore feature behind the camera, drawing from her personal experiences with an absent mother and the challenges of first-time motherhood. The cast also includes Riley Dandy (Christmas Bloody Christmas), Myles Clohessy (Frontier Crucible), and Sol Miranda (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt).
Joe Barbagallo and Logan Hunter of BarBhouse Productions are producing, following their success with A Wounded Fawn, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. David Guglielmo is handling the casting for the film.
Farley explained that Nanny Cam explores the terrifying psychological journey of Trinity, a new mother plagued by fears and anxieties that resonate deeply with her own experiences of questioning her ability to parent. She describes how this film delves into the unsettling darkness of these doubts and how personal demons can overshadow the joy of motherhood.
Katie Cassidy, known for her portrayal of Laurel Lance/Black Canary on Arrow, is also recognized for her roles in Taken, Monte Carlo, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Nanny Cam marks another notable project in her diverse career.
Cassidy is represented by Independent Artist Group and Echo Lake Entertainment, while Dandy is with Stride Management, and Miranda is represented by Gotham Talent Agency.
