Steven M. Smith' "The Jaakhin" gets Artwork and IndieGoGo Campaign


Steven M. Smith' "The Jaakhin" gets Artwork and IndieGoGo Campaign


My name is Steven M. Smith and I have been a dreamer for many years now, yes a dreamer, I dream for a living, write it down and film it, what an honor it is to be able to do that, stop you say, I am a dreamer too and I never get anywhere, well it is about making sure your feet are securely on the ground and never take criticism as a bad thing. 7 years ago something bad stopped me in my tracks, a life changing moment, I knew then that I was going to be a YES MAN, and not the Jim Carrey version, but one who does it, that thing he speaks about, I tell everyone to get up and go out there and do it, do the thing you want to do in life and have no regrets for it. I used to say, I want to make this film, now I say I am going to make this film and it gets made.  

The Jaakhin is my next horror project: The Jaakhin is a female ghost who has been banished under a spell to the depths of a British WWII home, hidden from the world. 70 years on and the man who put her there finally dies from extreme old age and The Jaakhin is free. A new family move into the house and The Jaakhin is determined to finish a ritual she tried to complete 70 years previously...

We are filming in March in the UK with a great cast and crew. Neil Dickson (Biggles himself) plays a Priest in The Jaakhin he co-starred opposite Ian McShane, Susan Sarandon, James Mason and Ava Gardner. This led to Dickson playing the title role of James Bigglesworth in "Biggles: Adventures in Time". Since then he has been seen in David Lynch's "Inland Empire", "Time Cop 2", "Lost Lake", "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" and such TV series as "Chuck", "Alias", and "Sliders". His voice can be heard on numerous animated series including "Rugrats", "The Wild Thornberries", "Gargoyles", "Johnny Quest" and "Iron Man" as well as feature films including "Body of Lies", "Beowulf", "Aragon" and "Pirates of the Carribean". He has also been the voice of "Jaguar" motorcars, Propel water and Delphi among others. He recently triumphed on stage as Stephen Wyatt's "The Standard Bearer", directed by Julian Sands.

I’ve been asked to list my 10 favorite films; I think this is difficult so I will list the ten horror/supernatural films, in no specific order, that inspired me. HALLOWEEN (1978) JAWS (1975) THE EXORCIST (1977) POLTERGEIST (1982) THE WOMAN IN BLACK (1989) THE SIXTH SENSE (1999) THE OTHERS (2001) PSYCHO (1960) SAW (2004) THE CONJURING (2013)

These films, are what movie making is about, great story, great suspense, great twists, their budgets are minimal and all were hugely successful. The Jaakhin is something can anyone can get involved in – we have some incredible rewards and I am hoping that someone will take up the ultimate reward of GET KILLED IN OUR MOVIE BY THE JAAKHIN. We will design a death kill by The Jaakhin and SFX make up team will create some incredible gore filled design.
