From Cheap Thrills to Starry Eyes to We Are Still Here, producer Travis Stevens has developed a number of the best indie genre films from the past decade, with the filmmaker finally stepping into the director’s chair in 2019 with Girl on the Third Floor. Also written by Stevens, it was clear that he had a much more personal connection to the twisted material and filmmaking sensibilities of his own, while also showcasing the various influences he had absorbed from collaborating with some of horror’s burgeoning auteurs. Stevens’ sophomore directorial effort, Jakob’s Wife, came to him by way of Barbara Crampton, who has similarly worked with some of the genre’s visionaries, who specifically approached the director to recruit him for the project. Jakob’s Wife makes its world premiere on Wednesday, March 17th at 8 p.m. CT and comes to theaters, On Demand, and Digital HD on April 16th.
