THE SECRET THAT HALF THE WORLD HAS BEEN KEEPING…
Dominic Rains, Serinda Swan, Ray Park, and William Atherton star in JINN – telling the story of an ancient evil that is beyond the memories of time. In the beginning, it is believed that only 3 were created… man, made of clay; angels, made of light; and a third, made of fire – called the Jinn! Parents have told their children stories of Jinn for many years in order for them to do as they are told when eating their vegetables or cleaning their room. Director, Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad was told these stories as a child and has in turn made it into a brilliantly shot CGI based film of GOOD Vs Evil for the rest of the world to enjoy.
Shawn (Dominic Rains), an automotive designer, enjoys an idyllic life with his new wife Jasmine (Serinda Swan) until it is interrupted by a cryptic message. The message warns of imminent danger and a curse that has afflicted his family for generations. Having lost his parents as a child, Shawn doesn't believe this unsettling revelation of his past…. until strange things start to happen. Unable to explain the threats and fearing for his life, Shawn turns to Gabriel (Ray Park) and Father Westhoff (William Atherton), a mysterious duo claiming to have answers. With their help, and the aid of Ali (Faran Tahir), a shackled mental patient – Shawn discovers that there is far more to this world than he ever imagined. These revelations set Shawn on a collision course with the unknown, and he alone must find the strength protect his family and confront the ancient evil that is hunting them.
So what now? Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad has plans to make this movie into a franchise with much more in store. Ajmal also aspires to directors such as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Ridley Scott in the hope to take a little of each of their talents to make it his own.
