Exclusive: Celeste O’Connor talks The In Between and believing in the afterlife
Playing exclusively for Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S from Paramount Players is the feature film THE IN BETWEEN, directed by Arie Posin and starring and produced by Joey King (“The Kissing Booth”). THE IN BETWEEN also stars Kyle Allen (“West Side Story”), Kim Dickens (“Gone Girl”), John Ortiz (“Silver Linings Playbook”) and Celeste O’Connor (“Ghostbusters: Afterlife”).
Based on an idea by Marc Klein (“Serendipity”), who penned the script, THE IN BETWEEN is a supernatural love story that centers on a teenage girl, Tessa (Joey King), who, after bouncing around in foster homes for most of her childhood, doesn’t believe she deserves her own love story.
Everything changes after she has a chance encounter with Skylar (Kyle Allen), a senior from a neighboring town who’s a true romantic. As her heart begins to open, tragedy strikes when a car accident takes Skylar’s life, while Tessa survives. As Tessa searches for answers in the aftermath of the accident, she soon believes Skylar is attempting to reconnect with her from the afterworld. With the help of her best friend and a newfound belief that love never dies, Tessa attempts to contact Skylar one last time, in order to give their love story the epic ending it deserves.
Known for playing Paloma Davis in the Amazon original film, Selah and the Spades, O’Connor was last seen playing "Lucky" Domingo in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales recently spoke with O’Connor on her role in the film and believing in the afterlife.
