Altitude Decompression!
A meeting of the Red Feline Active Team took place Wednesday afternoon, as scheduled, to discuss the future projects. Dani gave an account of her Location Scouting Adventure in the tropics, she returned with a good number of mosquito bites and sore feet because of the lengthy walks she had. She was sick on Monday and her doctor told her it was because of the altitude decompression. La Paz is up there in the clouds, 3,640 meters above sea level (11,942 ft) , and the TV station where she hosts her TV show is in El Alto, 4,150 meters above sea level (13,620 ft).
When Dani returned she travelled up from the low lands in the tropics, from exactly 976 m (3,202 ft) above sea level to the heights of El Alto in a relatively short time thus resulting in what experts describe as hypobaric decompression or DCS. Apart from all of that, she was fine and happy.
As a side note, Amy shot a movie up in the Huayna Potosi mountain at 4.701m (19,974 ft) where she took her clothes off in the middle of hills of dirty ice around her.
During the meeting of the Hard Working Red Feline Active Team Jac found out that Mila got another tattoo, a big snake, which didn’t make him happy although he appreciates the art.
The character Mila plays in 69 Année Érotique doesn’t have tattoos… for reasons that I’m not allowed to discuss, so, for at least the next two big films the budget has to have funds to cover those tattoos.
Mila’s tattoos were nicely covered in Pygmalion.
The discussion that Wednesday afternoon centered around the needs for the next three films, 69 Année Érotique, Aventura and Maleficarum Excruciati. La Femme was not discussed at all. Something heavy is holding Jac back from proceeding with that movie, even though what he envisioned as the set for that movie is beginning to take shape.
A good part of the week was taken by Jac’s search of the very specific materials, everything had to be the way he has it envision. After much searching he found what he was looking for but it was too heavy for him to take it in and out of the transportation, not to mention in the house.
On Saturday he went back up to the place with a big guy, Erix, and bought a lot of the stuff he needed, which they proceeded to take, in the back of a mini van, to his house.
The work on the set begun today, Monday, as he announced during the meeting. He also said that they will begin rehearsals for 69 Année Érotique this week, he will give his playmates copies of at least half of the script on Wednesday, when they will get together again. He also mentioned that the casting for the film will begin soon.
That’s not all. Jac is also advancing with the assembling of CruXtreme V – The Playmates.
He was planning to finish that part of his work by the end of last week, but because of his going about town in search of the mentioned materials which involved long walks for the entirety of a few afternoons, he couldn’t fulfill his plan. But, he has almost 5 hours of selected footage ready to be made into a movie and at least another 3 hours to trim down. Most of the footage he has left to trim is part of the last sequence. He’s sure he’ll be done before the weekend.
Hi Margot.. way back when Amy was in front of the camera, DOUBLE-CROSSED was filmed. Like most am waiting here with tongue hanging out for it to be released. What a gift that would be!! Is there any update from JJ?

Double Cross is a very early film in Amy’s career as an actress. It was shot when Vero was in town to star in Amy’s directorial debut Sirwiñakuy and for various reasons, mainly all those big production movies they made, it was shelved.
There are two shelved films Jac is looking into releasing before he starts the actual editing of CruXtreme V – The Playmates. The films Jac is considering for our next release are Seven Days on The Cross 5 and the mentioned Double Cross.
Jac’s plan is to go over both films as soon as he’s done assembling CXV and decide which one has the better chance to get the final post treatment it needs beginning next week with the intention to release it by the end of May or early June.
But regardless of which of those highly expected film gets the rush treatment, the other one will follow soon after.
Margot said: I found a thread at the Crux Forum completely dedicated to Amy where people post a lot of pictures of her from everything she did and is currently doing.
In case folk can’t see the link in your post, here’s the start of that thread:

There are so many pictures there, but, adding to my comments at the beginning of this post, here’s a picture after Amy finished her scene with her top off in the extremely freezing weather up 19,000 feet above sea level.

What would really be the icing on the cake, is to hear from the legend herself, our Crux queen Amy !!
How about some real icing? Everything you see on the picture below is ICE at 19,000 feet above sea level, in other words, up on a snowy capped famous mountain in the Andean Range. Jac took the picture, he was there too, as an invited actor.
I’ll mention to Amy how much she’s missed and her legend status. I’m sure she will respond in some way.
More news later.
