The Cycles of Pain
If we were to identify cycles by the impact of the main players who inspired stories and acted in the films, we could say that there’s the Camille Cycle, that began in 1993 with the production of the miniseries The Man From The Moon and ended by 2003 with Martyr or The Death of St Eulalia with over 35 works. But the one film that began this magnificent road was Red Feline On The Cross.
Camille, aka Carmen, was not alone during that cycle, her sister Gabrielle, aka Veronique, joined the team and participated in many of those films, including Red Feline Faces The Inquisition, and many solo films like CruxBride. She had a leading role in Martyr as well.
Another cycle began in 2005 with the production of the NatGeo doc Outbreak, which was the beginning of a very intense career for Amy as an actress, producer and director. But she also made costumes, built props, decorated sets, and a lot more That cycle ended in 2015 with the production of Justine with some 25 films in its belt.
As with Camille, Amy was not alone. This time a new teammate appeared, Mila Joya, who became an integral part of that cycle and worked in all of the films made then. And there was a crossover too, with Veronique who worked under Amy in Sirwiñakuy and Barbazul and had a protagonist role in Jac’s Dead But Dreaming. Amy’s leaving for the US to pursue other career goals marked the end of the cycle with two productions, Pygmalion and Justine. A new actress was in both. Bea.
Ironically enough, a new cycle began with another NatGeo financed film about the hunting of jaguars in the protected areas of Bolivia. Soon after Jac returned to civilization he directed beautiful Bea in the two cast and crew production of The Passion of Isabel, which was the first film where Amy was not involved and the first in a series of films where Jac did all the crew work plus acting in them.
Soon after The Passion of Isabel was made, Dani joined the team and Mila, who right after Amy left also moved on to do other things, returned to begin the new series of films until now.
A high point came when Jac produced Monxa Mala, with Mila, Dani and some new faces in our films, the one who shone prominently was Simonne, who is now the chosen one.
I follow RFPIX since their beginnings , and undoubtedly their best performer for me was the red feline herself, Camille.

If she were a little bit younger she definitely would’ve made the perfect Female Jesus. I just imagine her with the crown of thrones, gaping for air while they laid her down on the cross, taking the nailing and put on display like the Queen of Jews between two thief. I wish you all the best for this new movie. I hope it fulfill everyone’s wishes, which is the main goal of this effort.
At the beginning there was Camille and Camille was… yes a Goddess. Perhaps it was destiny or the universe, of the forces of some kind of divine design, but all roads led to Camille. And it was so simple, a big smile, those pretty shiny eyes, and being at the right place in the right time of the moving of the events on everyone’s life.
We were all there when we could’ve been somewhere else in the planet. We arrived from New York, she arrived from Tours, and that month, and that year.
And things worked out so she would become Red Feline. And to be totally candid, there was one else that could’ve been Red Feline and as an extension, Camille in The Death of St Eulalia, which, in a way it is a Passion Play where Camille recreates the passion of St Eulalia which, in a great symbolic way is the recreation of the Passion of Christ. I can say that she was there, in a poetic and modern version of a female Christ. As a matter of fact, at the festival where Martyr had its premiere, someone in the audience commented as the crucifixion scene in the movie was taking place: “this is The Passion of Christ with a woman in his place“
Rereading the latest “update”. I am begining to get a bit concerned that the crucifiction scenes are getting watered down for ‘marketablity” – specifically it is not decided if the women will be naked on the cross. At the very least, this should be decided at this point. Whether nailed via hands or wrist a lesser issue, but why still undecided?
Please confirm the ladies are NOT going to “stand” on the cross, or have a repeat of the positioning of the terrible Justine crux scene.
The more specifics you provide, the confidence people will have in the outcome, and the easier it will be to raise funds. Again, the Justine crux scene promises versus results still linger.
It is also hard to contibute to the movie fund without an actual funding page/link.

With all due to respect, you have been arguing that the flogging scenes and blood need to be reduced. And I see Margot very earnestly engaging with your concerns. While I don’t wish dismiss those concerns and also want these crux scenes to be as good as they can possibly be, I would urge you to not conflate “watering down” with not matching your tastes.

My concern on too much blood refers to taking away the beauty of the victims but basically covering then with a coat on red fake blood. Compare the crux scene from Justine to that of Amy crucified in the Crux Romnia flim.

I’m intrigued about the comment. Watering down? I don’t know where in my previous comments did I suggest that Jac is watering down the crucifixion scenes. The three women will walk to the Hill of the Skull, wearing their loincloths, which, by the way, will not be in good shape. I think the Female Christ will wear a torn robe of sorts, but I cannot say that for sure. It was a comment I heard or read.
After the nailing and raising up, their loincloths will be removed in a particularly dramatic moment to make a point for the benefit of the curious crowds, which include all the viewers… all of them.
I’m not sure if there will be a cuerno involved, but I also heard that it is possible that one of them will ‘sit‘ on her ‘throne‘. In other words she’ll be impaled on something like a horn, a cruel sedile.
What is certain is that ALL three will be nailed hands and feet, but maybe the feet will be placed in different positions, to add to the spectacle and for visual variety.
And as far as the fundraising campaign, we’re still working on the IndieGoGo campaign materials. It will be set up soon.
Could you make their moments of death sexual? Like they are having orgasms before they become dead bodies.

Camille taught us, and particularly Jac, that the French have a saying, “every orgasm is a little death“. The expression of Camille suffering on the cross and the expressions she has during orgasm are pretty similar, specially if the pleasure is very high, in one case, or the pain is too intense. When the anointed one and the sisters suffer the agonies of the cross, they will definitely express something like an extremely intense orgasm.
