Blow By Blow

Our campaign to raise funds for Seditiosa moves up the hard, rocky, sometimes slippery or muddy path up the hill where the cross awaits to our three amazing damsels in distress. We have 39 days left and $4,979 in the treasury box!

Another $50 worth of contributions and we will pass the $5,000 mark. Can it happen tonight? Maybe it is happening right now!

As we get another blow of support, each blow forces up (help us) a few steps up carrying the weight of our patibulum… our commitment to make this film our greatest endeavor yet! And I can say with certainty that Seditiosa is no longer a plan, it’s a work in progress!

Update

WE WENT OVER THE 5,000 MARK!

While we celebrate the good news in our campaign, a lot of work is happening. Jac is terribly busy with the scheduling work for 69 Année Érotique, which is taking longer than anticipated, altering some of the plans we have for the next few weeks. It might involve a trip to the US.

After those couple of days sometime ago when the team got together to do some rehearsals and work on the Seditiosa teasers, they did not meet at all for more than a week. That’s unusual, but anticipated. Jac doesn’t have the time for incredibly productive and sexy meetings while he’s working on the script, the scheduling, the editing, the planning and all the work he has to do before some approaching dates. One is the 18th of November.

Another task that is taking some of Jac’s time is the final cut and sound work on Double Cross, he expects to have it ready for release next week.

It’s a different film in many ways. It was made during Vero’s visit to Bolivia to take the lead role in Sirwiñakuy. It was a short visit, a little over a month, and before working on Amy’s first film as director, Amy, Vero and Jac spent a little time taking pictures and without much preparation, not even an idea, began to play with ropes, whips, a cross and came up with a movie that was shelved for years until…

Some comments came our way about Amy’s work as an actress.

Those flogging scenes with Amy in Dead but Dreaming and in Justine were the best in the trade. They combined pain and suffering with humiliation. The best erotic combination ever!

Dead But Dreaming is already a classic in our world and it has some amazing scenes, like the flogging of Amy, which was performed in front of a large number of people, both, the actors in it and all the curious people that were looking from a balcony and windows around the place. It was a public flogging, for sure.

There is a scene in Dead but Dreaming where Amy is garrotted. Simply SUPERB! But where is is on the site?

Originally Amy was going to be hanged. The original script had that scene in it. Then came the try outs, and since Amy was going to be totally naked in the scene, it was tough to come up with a method to have her hang by her neck, her wrists tied behind her, her feet dangling, shaking, in full view of many people… it was practically impossible without hanging her for real.

The garroting idea took form, there were a couple of ways to do it, one was sitting down in front of a post, the known way of garroting in the Andes back in the days of the Spanish colony… or the way Jac decided to do it, with Amy tied to the posts, cross like, facing the people, naked, beaten, terrified, suffering a slow painful execution. The scene was superb, indeed.
