Under Jakob's Ladder vs.
Under Jacob's Ladder...
Can you spot the difference? (You actually might be wondering, Is there even a difference?!)
Well, one is the name of our movie. And the other is not.
Jakob is the name of our protagonist. Jacob is not.
This movie is based on a true story. And yes, the character of Jakob (played by Jeff Stewart, probably best known for his role as PC Reg Hollis on the ITV hit show The Bill) did indeed spell his name with a "k"...
(While from Ukraine, Jakob belonged to a minority group called the Germans from Russia. His ancestors settled in Ukraine after Catherine the Great issued her manifesto and invited settlers to cultivate the land, kind of similar to the pioneers in the United States settling the American west.)
So, you see, there is a difference. Even if it is just a difference of one letter of the alphabet. And just in case you haven't been paying attention, or you're new to this blog, the title of our feature film is Under Jakob's Ladder.
That's Jakob... with a "k".
P.S. If you've been following this blog and you're waiting for more photo updates regarding our film shoot, don't worry! Next blog post, we'll put up more photos from Film Week 3...
